I I- The Campus Historical Sketch of Wesleyan EISLEYAN COLLEGE was incorporated in 1836 by the Legislature of Georgia under the name of “The Georgia Female College.” Two years later, the trustees elected a president and faculty, and in Jan- uary, 1839, the doors of the College were opened to the public. On the lety young women were enrolled, and during the term the number increased to one hundred and sixty-eight. At first the College was under the control of the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Church, and is now governed by the North Georgia, South Georgia and Florida Conferences. The College has the distinction of being the oldest college for women in America, and probably in the world, and has for three quarters of a century maintained the highest standards of educational life. It is the aim of its management that it should be not simply the oldest college for women in America, but the best. More than two thousand graduates of the College are widely scattered throughout the world. The diploma of “Wesleyan” has been pronounced the “highest academic honor open to a woman in the South.” The College is located in the best residential section of Macon, which is, perhaps, the most beautiful and cultured of all Southern cities. The campus consists of eight acres, with the buildings located at one end, and the remaining space used for recreation grounds. The buildings in use are five in number, consisting of Main Building. Susannah Wesley Memorial. Roberts Hall, the Dining Hall Building, and Senior Hall. An endowment fund of $300,000 has recently been completed by Dr. W. N. Ainsworth, which goes to greatly increase the efficiency and strength of the College, and gives it an added pre-eminence in the field of Southern education.

But each a blessing he Unto our neighbor and our race, A tribute Lord to Thee. 1 OREWORDS to college annuals, like history, tend towards repeti- tion. Almost without exception, the relieved editors submit their “faithful record of our college life,” and pathetically plead with the readers to throw the “veil of charity” over any shortcomings which they may detect. We heartily approve of the above, and think the sentiment expressed therein very applicable in the present instance; however, we believe that the “veil of charity” has been so rent by constant usage, that it has become too time-worn to be called into service again; therefore, we refrain from asking you to wear it upon the present occasion. It would not be any blow to our self-respect, however, if we asked you to kindly glance over the thirteenth chapter of Corinthians before perusing our book, for after all, one’s attitude makes a difference. We have endeavored to paint in our annual only those scenes of college life over which in the years to come, when space has crept between each one of us, you w ' ill love to linger in a retrospection of pleasing memories. Days come and go swiftly in this life of ours — joy comes and melts like a vapor — youth blooms and fades like a flower, and it is well enough to keep a record of these, our happiest days, lest like a roaring cloud in the sky, they float away into fleeting emptiness to be forgotten. This is our purpose. We now submit this tenth volume of the Veterropt. If we have succeeded and it fulfills your anticipation, let us sing “unitedly and heartedly” the doxology, but if we have failed — “the services will be concluded at the grave.” V 111 1 I Board of Trustees 1898 — Bishop W.

The calm of self-reliance, 1 r ti History of the Class of 1917 HE history of the Class of 1917 makes another chapter in the chronicle of the great Ku Klux Klan. When the members of the 1913 Class departed this college life in May, 1913. they entrusted the perpetuation of their ideals to twenty-five little “subs,” who had gained notoriety by assisting the “Sophs burn the Freshman effigy and by seizing the Fresh- man banner. The Seniors thoroughly initiated this little band of cherubs into the hazy mysteries of the K. K. K. They taught them the secrets hidden beneath every petal of the red and of the white carnations. They tested their natural tendencies toward loyalty and right. Finally, they delivered to them the emblems of their ideals, the banner of red and white and the name of Ku Klux Klan. Immediately, this ingenious Klan “put their heads together and devised methods to destroy the designs of the tyrannous carpet-baggers and to establish their nghts more firmly. As a result, in September they discarded the humiliating title of “subs and faced their situation with so much vim and youthful spirit that Dean Hinton nicknamed them “Freshmen. The charms of the organization and the plan of the noble work they purposed to accomplish tempted thirty-seven “new girls’ to solicit entrance into the row famous Klan. This would have swelled the membership to sixty-two had not nine of the members found that they could not devote their entire time, according to the requirements, to perfecting the designs of the Klan. These having forfeited their membership, fifty-three “Freshmen were left. This re-enforcement was not merely numerical; for the new recruits made it po ssible for the Klan to score many victories. Probably no victory was so notable as that of burning the Sophomore effigy. No difficulty was too great for them; sooner or later, the entire Klan effected a pass through the dangerous lines of Latin-M.-Math. They never failed; they distinguished themselves on all occasions; they never accepted any conditions at the hands of the carpet-baggers; they always proved the merit of their cause. The wisdom of their strategy and the success of their schemes so spread abroad that by September, 1915. all the world justly called them Sophomores. Twenty-three cf the Klan, however, found the Ku Klux life too exacting for them and turned their attention to less strenuous pursuits. Only four new recruits had the courage to receive initiation into the wise and mystic Klan. Not daunted, however, by the lessening of their number to thirty-four, they went forward with the same confidence in the spell of the K. K. K. which had won their past victories. Their devotion to their colors of red and white became so great that they now elected a leader whom nature seemed to have created especially for them — with her red hair and white face. Baker could lead on with or without a flag. Again they rushed upon the carpet- baggers, scattering them panic-stricken to their hiding places. To show their contempt of the fleeing Freshmen, they burned the Freshman effigy, amidst songs and yells. They further celebrated this victory by a great banquet to which they invited the Seniors. This banquet is famous in the annals of history on account of the sparkling originality of the toast-mistress. Miss Leila Legg. It went on record as the greatest banquet ever served at Wesleyan, and no revision of that record has. as yet. been necessary. How- ever many the successes scored by the valiant Klan in 1915-16, none ranked higher in the estimation of the Klan than their gaining the information which J2 had concealed in the recesses of Wesleyan library. These papers, which, when compiled by the Klan, made very many volumes, told of the gods and goddesses, green knights and fair maidens with love-lace trophies, heros and heroines of war and of love to whom ballads and sonnets were sung. These tales of mystic romance fired the spirits of the Ku Klux Klan, for was it not their right to have some such experiences? Thereupon they began to devise a wonderful promenade in which Mr. would be the modern knight and they, themselves, would be the fair ladies. The Seniors heard of the ambitious scheme with many heart quivers, for they knew of the charm of the K. K. K. ; but then they calmed their envious spirits by repeating to themselves the old saying, No man will propose to a Junior.” TTie Klan, however, exercising the wisdom for which they were now famous, postponed the “Prom” until leap year in order to give the “fair ladies” the opportunity of taking the initiative. Twelve of the Klan were unwilling to undertake such a daring feat, consequently they were dismissed from the organization and five recruits asking for admission were initiated. This enabled the Klan to go twenty-seven strong to capti- vate the hearts of twenty-seven modern knights. All the maneuvers of modem strategy were used. The oracles of Dame Fashion and of Dan Cupid were followed to a letter. Even magic light was cast over the scene of conquest. The knights immediately fell under the charm of the K. K. K. and surrendered unconditionally to their fair con- querors. The Seniors were so struck by the Klan’s late victory that they evacuated, leaving all the privileges, rights, dignity, deference, and honor to the famous Ku Klux Klan. Thus in September, 1916, the Klan came into possession of their own, for which they had so valiantly contended for five long years. Five of the Klan. not realizing that victory was so near, withdrew from the band, but five others were ready to take their places, hence the number remained twenty-seven. Of these twenty-seven, however, only three. Leila Legg, Mary Lane, and Catherine Oliver, were members of the original Klan to whom the charm and mysteries were entrusted by the 1913 Klan. These three members are revered as veterans and have been presented with badges of honor. Though the members entered at different times, the bonds of the Klan have always been secure; however, at no time, has there been that brotherhood of the soul” that has characterized the fraternity of the Senior Klan. The sufferings of restrictions placed upon them, the exultations on account of privileges granted to them, have been mutually shared. Theirs have been days of honest toil, with sometimes an ideal shattered: but, on the whole, they have been happy days, days full of wholesome, though sometimes irksome, work. Being valiant soldiers, they were engaged in a real warfare and scorned to waste their time in mere athletics, as can be proven by the fact that on the record there stands not a ball game to their credit. Those who wish to make a deeper study of the history of this marvelous Klan are referred to the Memory Books of Wesleyan College Students, 1913-17, (these are the only original documents available) ; the Registration Record of the Wesleyan Faculty; the Credit Account of the College Hill Pharmacy; Heart TTirobs of the Rotary Club; and the Archives of the Oldest Woman’s College in the World. Having established their views of honest victory and of learning at Wesleyan, the Klan is now preparing to extend their conquest unto the bounds of the earth. They will, however, leave to a little band, whom they have trained, the mysteries and the charm of the K. K. K., the secret hidden in the red and the white carnations, the banners of red and white, and the famous name of the Ku Klux Klan.

Senior Class Prophecy Every woman holds her future within her own hands, therefore, in writing a prophecy of the class of 1917, we will make no rash guess as to the future, but will give you a peep into the hand of each member, with an interpretation of the hieroglyphics written therein. Martha Andrew In this hand, the clear and unchained heart line promises success in love. The square or ‘‘box’ on Jupiter denotes social success, delightful guest and hostess. The lines of uncertain direction and crossing show a tendency to take life easy. The Normal Mount on Apollo is love of music and literature. The indications are that you will marry a government official and be a favorite in Wash- ington s social gayeties. Georgie Baker The lines of this hand, indicating charm, personality, and mag- netism. converge in the line of leadership. Long little finger shows diplomacy; cross on first finger, ability to speak many languages; circle on Apollo, fame. Recorded here are ambition, enthusiasm, and the very prettiest way of flinging all thoughts of yourself aside when some one else is experiencing joy or sorrow. You will un- doubtedly be President of the United States, and you will handle national crises with the same diplomatic skill that has characterized your college class. Mary Brooks Here the head line unites at its base with the life line, showing great timidity; however, the line of Mars corrects this evil and turns it to good account by making a disposition which so yearns for peace that nothing can ruffle it. You will preside over the next International Peace Conference. C. B. Branham The heart line drooping toward the head line shows that the head rules the heart. The Reasoning-bumps between second and third sections of fingers are prominent. There are signs of execu- tive ability, efficiency, patience, justice, and dreams of a romance in which the heroine will have an ardent tempestuous wooing. Your career as United States Supreme Judge will be ended late in life by your marriage after a romantic courtship, with the Speaker of the Senate. Ethel Butner This conic hand tells of artistic temperament at its most creative, — love of beauty, ease, and luxury; but is here combined with am- bition, common-sense, and energy. The Normal Mount on Apollo indicates love of music, art, and literature. The Fate line running to Apollo predicts artistic success achieved through personal merit. Your art studio in Atlanta will be the mecca for all lovers of art and your pictures will hang in the famous art galleries of the world Carolyn Cater Rarely are the signs of brilliant success more marked than in this hand. You are spirited, exuberant, immensely popular, a b orn leader, as shown by the ‘‘Influence lines. ’ Head line, curling toward heart line denotes dramatic power; Normal Mount on Mer- cury, business ability, ready speech, practical cleverness. Girdle on Mount of Moon, literary taste; long forefinger, ambition; star in quadrangle, success of a brilliant sort. You have plenty of talents and you turn every talent to account. There are signs of travel, signs of many friends. As to the “affairs’ of the heart — they are legion. You will reach your height in fame when you star in the Metropolitan Opera. Mary Pearl Chance Heart line starting directly under index finger betokens affection, loyalty, and true love. A friendship as close as that of Damon and Pythias is indicated. Head line clings to life line, hence you are a timid, modest little creature. Pointed fingers and the “line of the Sun proclaim you born for art. You could gain fame as an artist, but. rather than be separated from your college chum, you will spend your talent in making pK)sters to attract a crowd to hear Irene speak, while you travel throughout the world as her private secretary. Sallie Conley This hand, at first glance, seems more a relic of history than a pecimen for prophecy; however, upon closer examination, fame is discerned in the future. The cross on the little finger shows an adeptness in palmistry. When your prophecy of your college class comes true, you will be considered the leading authority in palmistry. Lillian Cox The rare Saint Andrew’s Cross here signifies the belief in a great and only love. Fate line, ending at second finger, tells of splendid luck; square on Jupiter, social success, delightful hostess; Girdle on Mount of Moon, literary taste. You will, without doubt, marry one of the money kings of America. You will frequently entertain your college class at your homes in Toronto and Palm Beach. Be- sides being a social star, you will always preside over the literary clubs of your community with the same grace that characterized your presidency of the Harris Society at Wesleyan. Edith Culpepper The quadrangle in this hand reveals broad-mindedness and a fine, big heart. You gauge people rightly — have almost a talent for “playing” them. You are buoyant, breezy, energetic, active, fas- cinating. There are signs of exquisite taste, especially in matters of dress. Sharp turn close to wrist tells of ability for singing and melody. The two lines on Apollo indicate a division of interests. You may star as an opera singer; but it is more probable that you will set the fashions in dress for the age in which you live. Mary Jones You have that interesting forked heart line — the sign of capacity for rare and unusual devotion. The “cushions” on the inside of finger-tips show that you arc sensitive, sympathetic, appreciative. Sharp thumb joint tells of ability for instrumental music and rhythm. You have some aptitude for medicine. You make friends by the score. Your career falls into two distinct periods. For ten years you will be a nurse; then you will marry the great American surgery of the heart. Mary Kilgore Here the head line, almost straight and barely separated from the life line, denotes concentration and logic. The deep Fate line reveals dogged perseverance. The two sections of the thumb of equal length, evenly full, and fairly firm, indicate strong will and strong logic. Spacing between fingers shows originality of thought and independence of action. You are one of the direct and positive personalities who are often “powers behind thrones.” You would be most successful as a lawyer and statesman, serving your country in its diplomatic relations with other countries; but your hand clearly shows that you will spend your life teaching in foreign fields. Irene Kilpatrick In this hand, lines of Influence between the life line and the thumb are prominent. The travel lines also are plain. You are energetic, sustained, breezy, strong, calm, outspoken, sincere, prac- tical. and systematic. The wide space between your second and third fingers is the sign of independence of environment. The line parallel to the life line denotes a life friendship with your college chum. This chum will be your secretary and artist as you travel throughout the world lecturing for the International Social Welfare League. Mary Lane You have that rare double Fate line which tells of two equally strong talents. Your blend of psychic and conic hand shows that one of these talents is writing; the high Mount on Jupiter shows that the other talent is music. You think rapidly; your answers flash back. You are impulsive; an ardent partisan. You dislike details and conventions, yet you observe the fine little amenities of life. You have a big. broad outlook upon life and affairs in general. Your self-confidence, poise, natural ability, and culture will make you the most brilliant director that the New England conservatory has ever had. Leila Legg This hand has the greatest number of marks for a successful career that I have ever seen. There is an emphatic sign for writing of a unique order. The conic hand further emphasizes the talent for writing. These long finger-tips mean ability of a cutic. exquisite taste, penetration, insight, tact. The wide spacing between the four fingers shows originality and independence of thought, inde- pendence of action and independence of environment. Heart and head lines are separated so as to show broad-mindedness, benevolence, tolerance, utter lack of pettiness. Star in the quadrangle and the “Circle of Brilliancy” predict brilliant liter- ary success. You have the readiest tongue — it ranges pathos, humor, sympathy, sarcasm. You have a kind, warm heart. While you judge from first impressions, while you leap to conclusions, the conclusions and impressions are usually right. The friendship lines and the “affairs” of the heart are many. The unusual literary fame recorded in your palm will come from the magazine which you will edit for the guidance of the thought of the universe upon congenial topics. You will make this the most popular magazine of the twentieth century, just as -you have made the Annual of your college class the most popular. Laura Lyle You are a hero-worshiper, an idealist; your friendships amount to positive adoration. You have the “line of brilliancy,” self- reliance. poise, pride. The stiff, unyielding thumb shows that you never recognize defeat. The Normal Mount of the Moon displays love of poetry and high sentiment. The historical line, parallel with the literary line, shows a peculiar reverence for lit- erary productions and also a desire to perpetuate them. You will be an enthusiastic organizer of literary societies to perpetuate the memory of Southern heros, especially Lanier. You will always preside at the national meetings of these Helen Marshall The chained Fate line of this hand shows money troubles; but. with a sister line ending at little finger, shows troubles overcome and business success. The heart line stretching near to Jupiter dis- plays a very strong character. The Box on Apollo and Star on Mercury tell further of business ability. Straight and long little finger is sincere and truthful diplomacy; Triangle on Jupiter, the sign of love of politics. The future seems to hold for you the of the Treasury, beginning under the Baker administration. Sara Merritt The cross on the third finger of this hand means devotion to some life-work. Long finger-tips show the gift of critical judgment, pene- tion, insight, tact. The distance of the head line from the life line shows self-confidence and poise. Fate line ending at heart line promises stormy love affairs. There are signs of punctuality, love of order, and successful leadership. Bend of the thumb shows adaptability and versatility; Mount on Mars, courage and endur- ance. This life-work to which you promise such devotion is teaching. You will eventually hold the chair of Pedagogy at Columbia University. societies. office of Secretary Jean Oliphant Three important signs of this hand arc love of books, choice of words, definite talent for writing. The conic hand tells of a writer of unusual ability. The equal length of the sections of the thumb indicate strong will and strong logic. The Normal Mount on the Moon shows healthy imagination, love of poetry. Star in Quad- rangle predicts brilliant success of a literary sort. The indications are that you will be editor-in-chief of a monthly magazine which will rival the Legg Magazine. travel so that lines are America Catherine Oliver The sharp turn of this hand close to the wrist displays genius for singing and melody. The line parallel to the life line tells of a life chum. Life line circling the center of the palm is great sisterly affection. Distance of head line from life line shows self-confidence and poise; bending toward the wrist, imagination and inspiration. Box on Jupiter means social success. The friendship lines and the many. Circle on Jupiter is fame. You will star as an opera singer, will justly be proud to claim you as her very own. Marion Rogers This hand presents signs of a diversity of talents. The pointed fingers denote love of beauty, ease, and luxury. The Normal Mount on Mercury shows business ability, ready speech, practical cleverness. The lines of friendship are many. You dislike re- sponsibility, yet you bear it admirably. No one likes a love story better than you do, whether you find it in book, magazine, or life. You have definite, positive ideas about what you want to do, and resent restraint. You would make an admirable newspaper woman, probably a “special writer. The famous sign of politics indicates that you keep up with the subjects of the day. There are many avenues open to you, but you will choose the one which will constantly associate you with your college chum — therefore you will be managing editor of the “Legg Magazine. Miriam Rogers The lines here reveal that you are unusually intellectual, original, versatile, ingenious. The head line, straight and separated from the life line, and the shape of the thumb mean concentration and logic. The reasoning bumps of the fingers are prominent. Star in the Quadrangle under Mercery tells of great eloquence. Your speech is convincing; your letters are charged with individuality. There are also signs of ability to write well especially critical litera- ture. You would be a book worm if your interest in practical affairs was not so great. You are vigorous, assertive; ready to take a hand in anything; ready to bear half a burden — or all of it. You create original methods; you devise short cuts. The most prominent line in your hand is the temperance line. You could do many things, but nothing so successfully as lecture for national prohibition. You eventually will be president of the International Temperance League. Mary Ella Ryder You are of a type that virtually no one understands, because there are two such utterly unlike sides to your nature. You are sympathetic one moment, perverse the next; joyous and sweet-tem- pered without cause, morose and all but sullen with as little reason; whimsical one moment, practical the next. You seem always ready to take up new plans, new studies, new interests, new people. You have a sense of color and form, proportion and symmetry. You could be taught to paint and draw and to do the most beautiful embroidery. You are a lover of nature, of colors, flowers, pels. You have a decided aptitude for invention. You will soon be famous from your invention of a new style aeroplane, but your greatest fame will be reached in the realm of archaeology. Mary Alice Strange You have that rare and interesting “circle” on the Mount of Mercury which is one of the signs of brilliance in a commercial sense. You advance everything that you touch to financial success. You have the circle of brilliancy and the circle of tenacity, which, when in conjunction make for triumphs. You have self-confidence that nothing can shake, and tact when you care to exert it. The friendship lines are numerous. You will be a great financier, will have investments in numerous enterprises, particularly in printing and in banking. You will endow the Veterropt at Wesleyan, so that the business manager will never again have the trouble you have had in making the advertisements pay expenses. Helen Stubbs The separation of the head and the heart lines in this hand tells of benevolence and lack of pettiness. Heart line taking rise be- tween first and second fingers signifies idealism in love and friend- ship. Straight little finger means sincerity and truthfulness. You are athletic — probably lead in gymnasium work. You have a cheery philosophy; your good humor atones for any mistake. The line of adoration for teachers and the missionary line are equally prominent in your palm. The predictions are that you will raise an endowment for worn-out teachers, and will spend your days visiting these teachers, reminding them by your merry laugh of the dear little cherubs they used to teach. Sarah Wesley You are a most unusual woman, with luck, fortune, and suc- cess all within your grasp. I have never seen better signs of success — brilliant success — though there are many obstacles and much outside interference to be overcome. You have courage to un- dertake things and to persevere. You are nimble of wit, ready of tongue; have a scintillating quality. You are like a prism, you transmute either joy or sorrow into light and color and charm. You have a mind that is acute; a memory that “holds fast.” The peculiar curve of the head line toward the heart line, as here, denotes ability to impersonate child life. You will be the most famous actor in the pictures which the government will provide for the education of the American children. Ruth Wilson Recorded here are self-confidence, poise, perseverance, patience, fame, independence of action and indei endence of environment. You are keen to observe, to plan, and to reason. You are the vigorous, ardent, enthusiastic type that is generous to a fault. You are practical, alert, decisive. You get at things. You are at the heart of a problem before others have sensed the fact that there is a problem, yet you have the patience to watchfully wait until others are ready to act. The general outline of the hand shows that you can hold a trust. Your cousin Woodrow will give you a life appointment to sail around in a Ryder ship, to overlook the nations of the world, and to keep the United States authorities posted as to whether their rights are everywhere protected.

I History of the Junior Class HE Class of 18 began its career in September. 1914. — our most mem- orable “September Morn’ — when about sixty strong, fresh from home and “flowery beds of ease we registered our names and ages in that “tell -tale roster of has-beens. We signed up for Latin. French, and everything else that was required. Before the first week was over we had already shown how bright we were, for we had learned such things as the way to town, the way to the ‘ Pharm. without any assistance from the faculty. We thought from the first that all the girls liked us. but we soon learned that the Sophomores were our “warmest friends, for did not their warmness of heart” reduce our effigy to ashes before we scarcely knew that we had one? We did not stay burned long, however, for on Thanksgiving day we. Freshmen, beat the Sophomores in the basket-ball game. Our Sophomore year was marked by three events. First and brightest of these was the burning of the Freshman effigy in the cold gray dawn, a thing that had never happened before in the history of Wesleyan. Next, in order of time, was the Sopho- more-Senior banquet. This was the Sophomores “first night” and such a success it was that they were invited to repeat the performance, which request however, for certain reasons, best known to themselves, they refused to grant. The third great event, that truck ride in the moonlight, a farewell from our own dear Seniors, occurred just before Commencement. When we finally became Juniors we were so well pleased with the new swim- ming pool that we were hardly tempted to even wish for our final “dip.” We showed up for what we really were this year by winning the basket-ball championship. Up to this time we had classed all Mercer boys as “star-gazers” or “brick-packers,” but we found that we were quite mistaken when the Juniors entertained us so delightfully one night out at the Mercer Library, Some of us have pursued knowledge, some of us have been pursued by knowledge, but all of us have absorbed a little. Be this as it may, we are still here and hope to remain until we can tuck our “sheep-skins” under our arms and say “goodbye” to Wesleyan. But “Father Time” must make the run of a few more months before our history in all its fullness can be written, for the “Junior Prom” is yet to come. Love and Force in Nature Airs love and aWs larv, — Browning. Miriam Rogers. 17. There is Love in the warbling of the bird. Heaven s choristers their Maker quote. In the soft melod f of their note The voice of Love is heard. The tempest ' s roar, lightning ' s fiery light. Seething seas and towering rocks. Savage storm and earthquake shocks Thunder the voice of Might. There ' s Love in th e rosy flush of morn. Each radiant glow that paints the skv Proclaims that Love divine is nigh. Man can not tell when Love was born. Love set the blazing sun aflame. Cods knows no near nor far; He shines in moon and twinkling star. In the heavens is written His name. O human love in the human clod! O clay, O clod, sing out, rejoice! Love swept the chords of th}f sweet voice Thou ' rt made in the image of Cod. Love speaks in whisper; speaks in thunder. Love whispers in the sun-kissed light. Love ' s in sorrow ' s darkest night. Cod ' s Love; He makes no blunder. There ' s Love in earth and Cod ' s there. O cla};, O clod, cease now to fear.

We know the attitude of all to Sophomores — “but what’s in a name? Just forget the “fooP’-ish part of the derivation and remember the “wise. Turn backward in memory to the time when you were once a Sophomore, or, else, imagine yourself in that greatly coveted state, and share with us. for awhile, our joy in living in 1916-17. We have blazed our path from the first; and. indeed, our blaze outran its Sopho- more limits, and its glowing flame began to lick the dress of one “young and un- sophisticated Freshman after another, until the whole Freshman class, in effigy, went up in smoke; and a damper was cast o’er our spirits as we tenderly gathered their ashes, and preserved them in a suitable casket, draped with their trailing colors. Do you believe in ghosts? Well, let me whisper a secret. The ghosts of those Freshmen came back Thanksgiving Day, and thought they would frighten us by their uncanny natures, and win a game of basket-ball. But no! We once believed “Little Orphant Annie, but the “Gobble-uns haven’t caught us yet. I am sure if our esteemed president, Woodrow Wilson, only knew what valuable campaigning was done for him, previous to the recent election, by these same Sopho- mores, he would suggest to Congress in his message that they give us a rising vote of thanks. But since he does not know, we will have to content ourselves with secretly praising our platform speakers of the Woodrow Wilson Rally. Not only can we boast of orators in our midst, but of poets, also. To us has been accorded the honor of having a poem of one of our members selected, as the first from Wesleyan, to appear in the “Anthology of College Poetry. In all directions we have broadened our horizon this year. We have become ac- quainted with our Anglo-Saxon ancestors from “our grandmothers who ran about wild in the old Teutoberg Forest” to the most gifted and civilized among them, and whose creative genius and imagination has fostered like ambitions within us. We have felt alike the patriotism of French Mademoiselles and German Frauleins as we have sung their national airs and studied of them. We have listened to the tinkling instruments of dark-haired Senoritas of Sunny Spain. We have traveled the length and breadth of our own fair land in company with our famous American forefathers, and have also learned of its natural wonders, in science. We have followed the crowds in Judea, as they gathered on mountains, and lake shores, to hear the Master-Teacher. All over the globe we have wandered in fancy not even escaping the war-zone — of exams. And scattered here and there throughout the year have been our various festivities, culminating in the Sophomore-Senior banquet. We did not wait until Spring to enjoy our “Sophomore- Eat- Em-Up,” but spread it out through every month, in our anticipa- tion of it, which was almost as keen as the realization. I So wc have worked and played the year away, and as we now realize that this Sophomore Class is almost a thing of the past, and just ahead of us looms the mantle of Juniority, we feel a queer sensation as the fact dawns upon us that half of our college career is past. May these last two years be the brightest and best of all! If n e Sophomores have offended Think but this, and all is mended That rve are but school-girls here. Full of life, of rvork, and cheer.

Ethel Williams, Elizabeth Wamble, Martha History of the Freshman Class IKE the Phoenix of old who sprung from her ashes and flew to sublime and lofty heights, we the Freshman Class 1916-17, have sprung from the ashes of our effigy, burned by a host of over-zealous Sophomores, and have soared to realms never before attained by Freshmen. One of the first problems of our great career was the disposal of the remaining ashes. Some thought it best to scatter them broadcast upon the silvery waves of the glistening, gently-flowing Ocmulgee. and thus prevent all mankind. Wesleyan Sophomores in- cluded. from falling down before them to worship the ashes of so great a tribe. Others thought it best to bury them in some secluded sacred spot, and breathe to no one their peaceful resting place. But alas! to part with them so, and never gaze upon them again was not to be endured, and so we gently placed them in a little square box. It is very fitting that they should be put in a box. for the ashes of many of the great kings whose bodies were cremated, have been placed in boxes to be handed down to future generations. If the ashes of kings are laid in boxes, why not the Freshman’s ashes ? After soaring around unnoticed for a few days, our arrival into the world was formally announced. The Junior Class 1916-17 Announces the Birth of A Sister Class To Be Christened The Freshman Class 1916-17 Thus, we arrived, and thus were we announced. For the first few weeks we were too much overcome by nostalgia to reach the heights destined for us; but little by little we threw off the thralls of this dread disease and began our progress towards a greater destiny. We found Wesleyan quietly sleep- ing and the progress of the world at a standstill waiting for us to come and discuss and settle its problems. Realizing our responsibility we set in with a will to accomplish this high mission. In a burst of flowery oratory we discussed the strike situation, the Japanese question, the United States foreign policy. Women’s Clubs, the Mexican situation, and many other pressing topics of the day. If Demosthenes could have heard these young aspirants to oratorical fame he would have bowed his head humbly and said, “They have surpassed me.’’ One day Miss Garner confided to us her great theory that poets are made as well as bom. At once we felt the influence of the muse, and ever since we have con- tributed poetic gems to the literary world. The standard which we have exacted in composing our inspiring verses has been this: It makes no difference what you say just so you make it rhyme.” It is, indeed, a great pity that we did not make our appearance into the world before Shakespeare, Tennyson, Browning, Poe and many others, for we could have taught them how to make poetry “by rule, square and compass.” We could have saved them considerable time and trouble. Many were the hours they wasted waiting for inspira- tion to strike them; but this was not the case with us, for when we felt it necessary to write a poem we calmly and nonchalantly seated ourselves and said, “Go to and write a poem, metre iambic pentameter.” And write poems we did! Volumes and volumes of them have we given to this cold passive world. They do not appreciate our genius yet; but we are not discouraged, for we realize that “great men are always misun- derstood.” In the realm of mathematics, besides mastering permutation, probability, the factor theorem, and the binominal theorem, we have gained some practical every-day knowledge. That is, we have learned that a man can dress in about nine hundred and ninety-nine ways if he has four suits and seven neck ties. Mr. Hinton says this will aid us in our future life. Far be it from us to doubt it. Parlez-vous francais? Well we do, and we speak it fluently and even sensibly. The same is true in German and Spanish. Not only are we able to translate and speak these languages freely, but we are able to do all our thinking in them. Although all the days of our lives most of us have gone faithfully to Sunday School, we were not recognized as authorities on the Old Testament as we are to-day. To Biblical lore we have added the discovery that Melchisedec was a mountain where Abraham buried his wife; and that Korah ' s rebellion was the uprising of a woman named Korah against her husband. So far as we know, no discovery in the archae- ological world has equalled this. We admit that Bacon was an exceedingly profound student, but in comparison vith us, he appears as an idler in the land. We never neglect our lessons for a moment until something more interesting comes our way. Then we adopt the well known words of George Washington; “When duty and pleasure clash Let duty go to smash.” Of the Sophomore- Freshman basket-ball game there is little to say. They beat us, it is true; but as everyone knows “Accidents will happen.” In the Freshman- Senior game the old Biblical saying: “The first shall be last, and the last shall be first,” was proved once again. We beat them sixteen to four. (To be continued. The next installment of this thrilling and hair-raising history will appear in the “Veterropt” of 1918.) Willie Snow, Historian.

Leaves From a Wesleyan Girl’s Diary 1913 Sept. 13. Wesleyan, Ho! Getting acquainted. In spile of my excitement, there was a lump in my throat, as I left home this morning. I am sure I looked rather nice in my new coat suit and my high-school medal, “Excellency in Deportment.” This last 1 pinned on in order to impress the dean. The old girls on the train were lovely, and gave me a cordial welcome, and as soon as I entered the old college, I knew Wesleyan was to be a second home to me. Sept. 14, To-Day: I feel something of the Wesleyan spirit. At the opening exercises this morning. Dr. Jenkins spoke to us of the Wesleyan women of the past. As he told us of the wonderful women who had gone from these halls, I felt awfully little, and sorter covered my high-school medal. Then, when Dr. Jenkins began talking of the possibilities of the present hour, I sat up. I would like for everyone to notice where I am to sit in chapel, so that twenty-five or thirty years from now. little Freshmen, timid and awed, will say, “This is the very place where she sat.” Sept. 16. Reception to-night. They say there were four hundred present, but I declare it looked to me like four thousand. When I went down. I felt so awed, I picked out one spot on the wall to keep warm with my back, but the girls did not give me lime for that. Sept. 17. Dense ignorance! I can’t remember what 1 learned last year. I know Thucydides belonged in the large red book. Query: Is the aforesaid book Physics or History? Freshman basket-ball team organized to-day, so were the tennis and baseball teams. I signed “Yours truly” to the first. Sept. 20. My first Y. W. C. A. service to-night. The subject was, “The Y. W. C. A. and the College Girl.” The service was in the nature of an introduction to all the departments of the Association. I never knew before what a really big thing the Y. W. is. It is splendidly organized and there is a place for every girl. Believe I’ll join. Somehow those girls make you want to be and to do something worth while. Sept. 30. Well! I discovered a rare old character to-day. He was sweeping the beautiful walk in front of Main. He has been here forever. I wonder if he didn’t place the first brick? He was “shorely pestered about something.” After coaxing him, he said: “Ez good ez Mistiss (Mrs. Jenkins) is, she done gone and phoned to de weather man dis mawnin’; ain’t no good cornin’ from projeckin’ wid de Lawd’s bizness!” Uncle Jonson, for that’s his name, promised to tell me on my graduating day if my four years have amounted to something. He said he can always tell. 1917 Sept. 13. Senior!!! Hooray! A new girl thought 1 was a teacher to-day. On second thought I believe I shall mark out the exuberant beginning of this, as being undignified and unworthy of my present position. Sept. 14. New girls arriving hourly. Reflections of Etta, the maid: “All dem bran new trunks, dey’s Freshmans; en all dem banged-up ones, dey’s Seniors!” Grand assortment of gold medals everywhere; Bankville’s High School pride in English is trying to recall if her rhetoric was a thin blue book; Jonesville’s medal announces a model in deportment. It is with becoming modesty that I write of what a nice child I have been to-day. I helped ten girls arrange schedule cards, and I have piloted at least 50 to the dean’s office. I assured each that the course is easy (mental reservation on my part!) Sept. I 5. Opening exercises. The speaker for the occasion assured us that he was glad to look into our bright and happy faces. He was evidently looking at the Seniors. (Sniffs from Freshman rows.) Sept. I 7. Senior caps and gowns this morning, and leading the procession to Mulberry! The thermometer was 90 in the shade, but pride knoweth neither heat nor cold nor high collars. Sept. 18; The old familiar Student Government rules read to-day. How dif- ferent they sounded four years ago. when I quaked at the thought. To-day they spoke to me of womanliness and responsibility and independence. Sept. 19. A high sense of responsibility rests on the Seniors’ shoulders. Talking in groups to-day, each girl says she feels responsible for every girl in college. Mrs. Burks spoke to us this morning in Senior Lit. on our “Heritage.” When she told us of the women Wesleyan had sent out. we felt that we could not do less than be true to Wesleyan ideals. Mrs. Burks always makes you feel like that. Sept. 21. The big swimming pool full of divers at 5:30 to-day. Sept. 22. Senior deference to-day. Makes you feel very important to have underclassmen stand aside while you enter the elevator, and to remain seated while you march in and out chapel. Sept. 23. The first issue of the “Wesleyan” for this year out to-day. Quite a literary production for under-classmen! Page 23 is graced with my profile. Sept. 30. Given my first problem in Experimental Psychology this morning. Can now give full data on the laws of forgetting. Graduating Morning. 1917 We Seniors remembered “Uncle Johnson’s” promise of four years ago. and went to see him in a body. “Have our four years been worth while, ‘Uncle Johnson?’ ” The old man looked at us long and deeply: “Yes. I ken tell by de look in yo’ faces, and de shining in yo’ eyes!” Miriam Rogers. I I 1 1 0 t Wesleyan Staff Jean Oliphant Sallie Conley .

There ' s Marguerite and Mary, Annie, Kate, and Caroline. But none so sad as Alice, none in all the school, they say; For she ' s your baby, mother, and she ' s off so far away. I sleep so little mother, that I seem always awake; The night birds break slumber e ' er the dawn begins to break; For I must study horrid Trig, and French and Latin, too. You know I ' m Freshman, mother, and fear I sha ' n ' t get through. In my dream last evening, mother, whom think you I saw appear But Robert, in the parlor, and young Alice very near. He spoke to me so gently that I could not tell him nay; But Julia snatched him from me, mother, from my side away.

Ml l| FRATERNITIES ♦ Jin iJlnnnrtam Let those who have tears prepare to shed them now, for the following dolorous lines will cause even the most granite-hearted to become lachrjrmose, and bathe themselves in melancholy drops. Sororities are dead at Wesleyan. They passed away very suddenly in the spring of nineteen fourteen, and for three long years they have been lying in state in their respective halls. The final interment will take place this commencement with the passing of the nineteen seventeen sisters. The coroner’s inquest held at a post mortem exam- ination revealed the deplorable fact that they had been taken unawares and maliciously murdered by a set of conspirators — the trustees. For the last time, the faithful survivors of the de- ceased sisterhood who have mourned with heavy heart their dreary affliction will appear in the Annual, and our pictures this year portray but a shadow of our former self. Now with the voice of sorrow, we chant our requiem. Hark, from the tomb the mournful sound of wailing A A’ II, I M, ZT A, AAA. The good that we did lives after us, and Wesleyan without Sororities will be like Hamlet without the Ghost, Germany without the Kaiser, and night without the stars.

I ain’t in no wise anxious to rouse up no peevish, sleeping dog. but. women, them wuz stormy limes! We hadn’t more ’n gotten settled into harness that first year when the clan was young and high-spirited, when if the whole blessed thing didn’t like to go up in smoke, all along of a miscalculatin’ set of know-alls. It all happened this way. The wild and fair young Freshmen were goin’ to give the Juniors a big blow-out on hallowe’en. Those as had been subs the year before, ’lowed as how they’d ’niliale the green members of their lot into the harrowin secrets of Ku Klux on hallowe’en night after said parly. They sez as much to those they were plannin to haze, in order to warn ’em to be on the spot that fatal night. Well, hallowe’en rolled ’round, and the green Freshies wuz told to be ready, after they sont the guests off to their rooms, to meet their mystic betters for the ordeal in store for ’em. The party went off tol’able smooth, but them green Freshies did kinder stick together, and they wuz powerful ticklish ’bout bein’ overheard in what they wuz whisperin’ to each other. The truth of the business wuz, they had been doin’ some investigatin’ on their own hook, and had come acrost some o’ this here long, stringy stuff soaked in warm water till it was good and slick and slimy, this here,— you know — mac’roni stuff; also, some dozen yards of tanglefoot and other suggestive stimuli. They know’d that said articles never b’longed to ’em, leastways, they didn’t have no notice of such bein’ planned for this party; but, somehow, they never felt right c;omforlable. ’till they dumped the whole blessed lot of it into a secluded waste-barrel out on the back- campus. They didn’t think it very necessary to inform the ex-subs nothin’ bout it. neither. As I said, everything went hummin’ long as usual, ’til the party broke up. All the visitin’ women-folks was took to their rooms by the green Freshies while the ex-subs got ready for the next little tea-party. They didn’t know that it was goin’ to be about as joyful to them as the Boston tea-party was to them foiled Britishers. So they waited and waited — and wailed — Weren’t those good-for-nothin’ crumbs never cornin’ back? It slowly dawned that there weren’t a child of ’em stirrin ’down that way. Meanwhiles, them same darlin kids (about 50 in number) had sneaked off up- stairs and banded for strength into one air-tight, pitch-black dark, middle-sized bedroom, where they panted in the darkness, scared to move an inch for fear of bein’ discovered. It was a treat to see the gatherin’ of that clan — one or two at a lime slippin’ around the corner and divin’ like lightenin’ into that hole of a hidin’ place, without a sign of a enemy in pursuit. That part of the game look place about a quarter of ’n hour afterward, when a scurryin’ of feet sounded in every hall in the college, lippin’, listenin’, for the concealed Ku Kluxers. They hunted for ’bout fifteen more minutes — the suspense was awful — gettin louder and louder, madder and madder, yelpin’ out threats that u’d make your blood curdle. All at once somebody screeched, “Here they are, we’ve found ’em.” Then the seige began. Of all the rooms that ever were built, that pertickler one was about the worst one to keep anybuddy out of. The windows wuz these here little foldin’, flappin’ kind, that wound up if you bat your eye; and the door didn’t have no lock. There we wuz, piled up about twenty deep in front of the door, about fifteen to each of the two latticed windows, just a few feet away from the blood-thirstiest soundin’ rabble that ever stained the pages of poetry or liter’ture. The beds wuz rifled of their slats to prop the lattices shut. Everybody was scratchin’, clawin’, pushin’, shovin’, listenin’ to the beggin’, pleadin’, threatenin’ on the outside. Old Patsy Huff was out there yellin’, “If you don’t open that door and let me in. I’ll eat you alive when I do get you.’’ That made us heave another ounce of strength into the defensive. I was plumb exasperated after about a half an hour — it seemed like a month — and I flopped toward the bed to rest up a second — there wasn’t no slats as you know; so I did a flip-flop and landed on my right eye. I didn’t move, I couldn’t, I was that done for. The outsiders must of slackened up on the defensive; anyway, they didn t need one of the slats in holdin’ the fort, so they heaved it towards its proper place, landin’ it on the left eye of me. I didn’t make no active objections to that, neither, but took it all in as part of the little game. I guess we would of been fightin there yet if the light bell hadn’t rung, and the voice of Mrs. Burks over the tumult, put in a word for peace. We made it a sure thing that she wouldn’t let ’em kill us before we showed our perspirin’ faces. And the funny thing about it wuz that that there little rucus didn’t do nobody a speck o’ harm, ’less it was my two lamps. It seemed like we wuz all better friends ’n ever. The “civil war” wound up in prosper’ty. Ex-subs didn’t say no more about hazin’ us green Ku Kluxers. Jean Oliphant, ’I 7. KLASSv To the Class of the Ku Klux Klan O hail to thee.

FLAMES SWEEP WESLEYAN Strike Causes Abolition of Examinations FIRE IS THE GREATEST IN THE HISTORY OF MACON.— NO LOSS OF LIFE.— PROPERTY LOSS ESTIMATED AT $1,000,- 000 . Many Thrilling Acts of Bravery and Daring Rescues Are Witnessed by the Large Crowd of Specta- tors Who Came from All Over the City to See Fire. Wesleyan College, the oldest col- lege for women In the world, Is now a mass of ashes; the historic build- ings which for over half a century have crowned Macon’s highest hill now lie a smouldering heap. Wild excitement prevailed around Wesleyan College yesterday morn- ing about nine o’clock, when fire broke out in the main building and spread through all three dormitor- ies. Caused by Lighted Cigar. The fire is supposed to have orig- inated in the oflice of Dr. Jenkins, president of the college, and was due, no doubt, to the careless throwing of a lighted cigar into his waste-paper basket as he was about to leave for town. Dr. Jenkins was in an extremely nervous condition after the fire, and has been under osteopathic treatment ever since. Reports of arson have been circu- lated, but when interviewed by Chief of Police Beaver on this sub- ject, Dr. Jenkins declared emphati- cally that he had no incendiary motives whatever in throwing the cigar into the w ' aste-paper basket and added that such had been his custom for years. Prof. J. W. W. Daniel Announces Fire. Meantime, almost simultaneous- ly with the first noise of the fire bell. Prof. Daniel, with his acute faculty for relating things, con- nected the idea of fire with Wes- leyan College. He quickly sent a girl to the library to find out if it were true. On learning that it was, he rushed with alacrity to the bulletin-board with an an- nouncement of the fire, and ap- pointed Miss Ray Ballard as moni- tor to go to each class room and notify the members of the faculty of the situation. In the twinkling of an eye, al- most the entire student body was collected In the chapel, where Prof. Daniel arranged the girls in alphabetical order, giving each a slip of paper with a number on it. Thanks to his wonderful systematic directions, the four hundred girls were ready to march in less than an hour. Continued on page 2 leather Forecast To-day’s Forecast. Georgia: The Jester takes the State by storm. Showers of com- ment probably to-morrow. Previous Records. January 15: On announcement that class in journalism would be required to publish a paper as a substitute for an examination, the class were dispersed, and the sun came out to warm the atmosphere. January 23: Meeting of staff to decide policy of paper brought tempestuous weather. The sun w ' as obscured by clouds of disap- proval that gathered about the Ma- con heights. January 28: Continued show ' crs for days. February 20: The calm which was a prophecy of to-day’s storm settled dowm upon the journalists as each one handed in her copy. February 22: Dark forebodings as paper went to press. One of the most serious situa- tions in the history of collegiate administration culminated in a strike against examinations by the students of Wesleyan College, yes- terday, and in the total abolition of e. aminations from that institu- tion. Ample Warning Given. The strikers gave ample warn- ing of their intentions. Led by its president, C. B. Branham, the stu- dents’ union framed a note to the faculty. In it, they claimed that an outstanding abuse was the at- tempt on the part of officials to develop means of exacting heavier work by the students with the least possible exertion on their own part. The students in some branches were victims, stated the note, of a fad for requiring the writing of text-books on exams. This entailed economic, political, and social wrongs to the college community. The cost of exam, paper alone was a staggering economic expenditure. The loss of a voice in affairs of school management with respect to exams was a political slap in the face to the laborers. A great so- cial loss was sustained in the dep- rivation, in large measure, during exam week, of the valued society and indispensable aid of fellow- students. Then, too, the whole question of exams smacked too much of the “docile working-wom- an Idea’’ so hateful to the spirit of revolt awakening in women. As members of the fairer sex, they de- manded fair treatment in the mat- ter, the exemption of all students from examinations; and they back- ed their claims with all the milit- ancy of Emmeline Pankhurst, with the humanity learned from Jane Addams, and with the deep earnest- ness which characterizes Ellen Terry. Continued on page 3 THE JESTER Flames Sweep W esieyan J. C. HINTON ARRESTED. 2 Wesleyan Professor Kidnapped J. W. W. Daniel, of Wesleyan Facul- ty, Kidnapped. One of the most mysterious and baffling abduction cases ever brought to the notice of the police Is the kidnapping of Mr. J. W. W. Daniel, a distinguished member of the Wesleyan faculty, which oc- curred some time yesterday. Mr. Daniel ' s absence was first discovered at the morning chapel service yesterday. The unprece- dented occurrence occasioned much comment among the faculty and students, and aher the professor’s failure to meet any of his classes during the day, or to send an ex- planation, President Jenkins be- came alarmed and notlfled the po- lice of the strange disappearance. The only clue offered the search- ers is a threat contained in a let- ter to Mr. Daniel, which was found on his desk. It reads: “You have won her heart, but I will have revenge.” The writer of this note Is sur- mised to be a disappointed ad- mirer of the young lady whose af- fections, it is rumored, have been won by Prof. Daniel. To-night, Chief of Police Beavers received a printed note to the effect that no violence is intended Mr. Daniel and that he will be released as soon as the plans of the writer permit. Dr. Jenkins, in an interview to- day, stated that he was entirely Ignorant of the fact that Mr. Daniel was inclined toward matrimony and he expressed his surprise at the situation. At ten o ' clock p. m., no new clues had been discovered, but the in- vestigation is being thoroughly conducted and It is hoped the morn- ing will bring some explanation of the mysterious affair. Here’s to the class of journalists! The class that knows the news Of college, city, nation, world. The class that gives all views Upon the subjects now discussed In school or city hall. And for the fun that they create They never care at all. Continued from page 1 But, as the flames had only gained headway as far as row R, and there was no necessity for un- due haste. Miss Virginia Gamer called a joint meeting of the Har- ris and I nier Literary societies, and requested that the presidents of these societies march out with her. Miss Wallace also requested the cast of the play to meet her immediately after the fire on the ruins of the chapel stage. Mrs. Burks Notifies Trustees. Mrs. M. M. Burks, who was in her room at the time of the fire, on being told that the building was burning, replied that “there had never been such a thing in the his- tory of Wesleyan,” and that “there must be some mistake.” She sent for Julia, the maid, and when Julia emphatically declared on her word of honor that the buildings were really in flames. Mrs. Burks was finally induced to leave her room just as the bed clothing caught fire. She immediately notified the trustees of the catastrophe. No Lives Lost. There was no loss of life, and this marvelous fact is due, no doubt, to the splendid training the girls received in the fire drill of 18G4, when it was rumored that Sherman and his flaming fagots were coming through Georgia . At the time when the fire first broke out, the students were near- ly all at classes, and being pro- foundly interested in their various tasks, did not notice anything un- usual until three fire departments had been at work upon the flames for almost ten minutes. Bible Class Absorbed in Study. In fact, it is reported that so profoundly absorbed was the Sen- ior Bible class at this time, that the flames actually began to lick the chair of the professor, Mr. G. E. Rosser, before they became aware of the fire. This was the first class room to be touched by the flames, for although the fire started in the main building, where the music department is, there were no girls in the practice rooms at the time. When the Bible class understood from the flames within and the clang of the fire bells with- out that Wesleyan was on fire, they quietly rose and left the room. Night Watchman Thinks Professor a “Loafer” on the Campus and Arrests Him. Much excitement was caused last night at Wesleyan when the new nightwatchman attempted to arrest J. C. Hinton, dean of the college, for loitering on the campus. The professor had come up to the college to meet his astronomy class. Having placed his telescope on the campus, he was w ' alking around a little impatiently, watching the doors through which the students were to come, when some one seiz- ed him by the arm. and told him to consider himself under arrest for loitering around the college. The loud talking drew the young ladles to their windows. The two were still arguing when the members of the class arrived and convinced the nightwatchman that Mr. Hinton was not trying to elope with any of the young ladies. all except Miss Sallie Conley, who. it seems, had been asleep during the entire recitation. Her class- mates forgot to notify her of their departure, and she was left slumb- ering ’mid the fast-accumulating smoke. Prof. Rosser at Post of Duty Res- cued by Miss Conley. Prof. Rosser, who intended to re- main at his post until the very end, did not notice Miss Conley, for in haggard agony, he was lost in meditation over the similar fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. Finally, just as a loud rumbling overhead heralded the fall of the whole structure, Miss Conley was awak- ened by the noise and heat. She looked about her in frenzied amaze- ment, soon spying Prof. Rosser, who by this time had fainted. Quick as a flash she dashed through the stifling smoke and dragged him prostrate Into the fresh air where succor awaited them both. Miss Whitman ' s Life Imperiled. Miss Lillian Whitman, of the Modern Language department, was safely out the danger zone, when she suddenly realized that a hand- some sweater which she prized very highly, it having been an heir- loom. was left in her room on the fourth floor. Heedless of the fact that, since the elevator was stuck. Continued on page 20 THE JESTER 3 Plot to Assassinate Pres. C. B. Branham Revealed in Letters Seized In Room of Katrina Bush. Anarchist plots to assassinate Pres. C. B. Branham, of the Wes- leyan student government organi- zation. were revealed in letters seized in the room of Katrina Bush, a student of the college, sev- eral days ago. Miss Bush is held by the city authorities, pending trial. Other Simiiar Threats. Companions of the girl state that they had noticed on many occasions the evident sullen antip- athy with which she regarded Pres- ident Branham. When informed by the reporter from this paper of the alleged plot to assassinate her, President Bran- ham said: “Threats of that kind have been so many and so varied since I ' ve been in office that I’ve learned wholly to disregard them.” Silent Sentinels Prove Effective Wilson Promises to Back Congres- sional Union. — President Jenkins Wires Endorsement of Woman Suffrage Amendment. As a result of the picket line be- fore the White House gates, and the thousands of demands of wom- en. and outside pressure. President Wilson gave his promise yesterday to the officers of the Congressional Union to do all in his power as the Democratic i)arty leader to secure the passage of the Susan B. An- thony amendment during the pres- ent session of Congress. Dr. C. R. Jenkins, president of Wesleyan Female College, over- come with sympathy for the women who have been keeping watch out- side of the White House in the freezing weather, suffered a change of heart, and sent a telegram to the President urging him to support the cause of woman. This message which came from the president of the first college in the world to grant a bachelor’s degree to wom- en carried pressure, and caused President Wilson to give the ques- GIRL HELD AT WESLEYAN AGAINST HER WILL— THE GRAND JURY INVESTIGATES. The case of Miss Marian Legg, a student who Is being held at Wes- leyan College against her will, was reported to the grand jury Mon- day morning. Miss Legg states that by official act of the Ebtecutive Committee, she received last Monday morning a writ of injunction which compels her to remain within the college precincts for fourteen consecutive days. The defendant considered this a violation of habeas corpus, and Immediately turned in her com- plaints to the grand jury, and asked for help. A committee from the grand jury came to the college to investigate the matter, and see if Miss Legg’s complaints were justified. They found that the case merited atten- tion from the city authorities, be- cause. under no circumstances, can a person be held in forced con- finement unless arrested for break- ing the law of the city or state. In an Interview with a reporter from The Jester, Miss Legg claim- ed that her only offense consisted in conversing with a “university wit” in the Capitol Theater. Public opinion upholds Miss Legg In her contest with centralized power. tlon profound consideration, ' fo- day It was given out in an official report that the House will consider the bill Immediately. There is no longer occasion for the vigil of woman suffragist out- side the Executive Mansion. Their method of getting results has prov- en effective. The first day Mr. Wil- son saw them, he refused to recog- nize them. The second day he laughed at their watchful faces be- neath the Union banners. The third day he lifted his hat as he passed the picket line; and. on one occasion when the snow covered the ground, he sent for them to come in and warm, but was not obeyed. At last, after receiving the message from Dr. Jenkins, he passed by for the last time that line of women who stood so straight and held with such courage the golden lettered banners with the inscription: “Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?” The women saw him go immediate- ly to the capitol in their behalf. Strike Causes Abolition of Examinations Continued from page 1 These demands the faculty promptly refused. In a second as- sembly for student’s rights, the young women issued their mani- festo. The Students Manifesto. They declared at the outset that public opinion, so infiuential in the settlement of difficulties, should be well-informed as to the merits of the case. “As an abstract proposi- tion,” they contended, “no one dis- putes the desirability of abolishing examinations. It is equally beyond controversy that the amount of work required In certain branches is excessive. Numerous devices, created purposely to overwork lab- orers, have been instituted, such as voluminous note-books, extra themes, parallel reading, and rush assignments; in fact, everything that makes for a condition of over- loaded, dragging, painful progress in education.” According to the manifesto, the problem constituted a threefold question: (1) . From a technical standpoint, can school be operated on a non- exam basis? (2) . If that be possible, in view of the fact that students are re- questing the removal of exams, are teachers intellectually capable of complying with the request which will entail more Intensive work on their part? (3) . If students approve of exara- less management, and if adoption of this ruling entail greater intel- lectual burden on teachers, would this constitute a valid reason for advancing the salaries of teachers? The document concluded: “Final- ly. the abolition of exams is practi- cal because it is in successful oper- ation elsew ' here, and because the best pedagogical authorities favor the disuse of examinations.” Faculty Discusses Situation. Then occurred one of the most momentous and stormy sessions of the faculty that ever convened. Prof. Leon P. Smith stood almost alone in proposing that the indig- nant revolutionists be pacified by a favorable reply. Whereupon, Prof. M. C. Quilllan roared In sten- torian tones that no such presump- tion should be tolerated. Prof. Continued on page 21 4 THE JESTER THE JESTER MACON.

The following graduates of Wesleyan are making their Influence felt in the educational world: Misses Grace Beatty and Miss Annie Lois Stowe at Reinhardt, Misses Evelyn Betts and Frances Holmes and Mrs. Morrison at Sparks Collegiate Institute. Miss Sarah Holmes at Graymount, Misses Eloise Greer and Alice Mur- ray at Baxley, Miss Ruth Dicks at Cochran, Miss Ruth Mullings at MIdvIlle, Miss Vera Bond at Fort Valley, Miss Ruth White at Pierce Collegiate Institute, Misses Gladys Anthony and Lucile Bates at Col- quitt, Misses Helen and Christine Bryan at Quincy, Miss Althea Exley at Rincom. Miss Merlyn Hlley at Poulan, Miss Annie Pet Powell at Arlington. Miss Mary Steele at Monroe, Miss Edwina Teasley at Cedartown. To run throughout this world so wide In everybody’s head. Just read The Jester, and you’ll see Such truth you’ve never read In Telegraph by morning light Or News by evening fire. The Jester’s harp has many strings ; It plays as does the lyre. There is a class at Wesleyan Which knows a lot of news. If you will read this paper through. You’ll know what are their dues. As you can see. if you but read, Here’s news of every kind. If you are left completely out. Oh, never, never mind. For there’s another chance for him Who hadn’t reached renowm Before this paper went to print. If he will cover ground. And reach a point when girls can see A bit of news or fun In anything he ever does. They’ll write for him a pun. 6 THK JESTER EDITORIALS POLICY OF THE JESTER. A11 the news we dare to print. is the motto of this paper, which the Wesleyan class in Journalism presents to the public as a worthy substitute for a formal examina- tion in this course. When it was announced that we were to publish a pai er instead of being forced to undergo the mental and nervous strain of an examina- tion. the class became the envy of the entire student body. As no paper can exist without a policy, the editor called a meeting of the staff of The .Jester to determine whether the paper should be a yel- low journal or follow the high-b row policy of The lloston Transcript, The New York Evening Post, or of our esteemed contemporaries. The Macon News, and The Macon Daily Telegraph. At length, the staff decided that The Jester shall not be influenced by political or religious factions; nor shall It endorse suffrage or oppose prohibition, nor in any way follow the policy of other influen- tial dailies. The staff also deter- mined that the paper should not be bound by public opinion, but that i it should be broad and far-reaching in its scope. As to the policy, U | was put to bed with the paper, | and can be found only by reading between the lines. | After this staff meeting, we aban- 1 doned all hope of having an easy | job; and after an interview with the publishers, we realized that, on I account of the high cost of paper, our news must sell. We resolved I to make The Jester self-support - 1 Ing. This is a bold venture; but, | since there was not a single report- er who failed to bring in the prop- 1 er dope from her beat, we have been able to print regular newspa-i per stuff , several features and i specials, many “fakes and at least one scoop. However, we wish to make this statement, which in’e are aware vio- lates the principles of good news writing: the staff of The Jester, unlike the editor of The Telegraph, refuses to guarantee the truth of any news in these columns except that which appears In the “true blue section. Let us add also that this paper has cost the editors much time, energy, and thought. We have put no less than three hundred and seventy-three hours concentrated work on this assignment. Still, it is better than an examination. Our paper is published; our policy, pro- tected; now, may w’e lie in peace. THE NEW METHOD VERSUS THE OLD METHOD The new method of determining the success or failure of a teacher’s work during a period of one term is now on trial at Wesleyan Col- lege. It promises to be decidedly more popular with the student body than w ' as possible for the old I method. ' This popularity rests on the fact that the modern method is more comfortable, since much of the ac- companying torture of the old method is eliminated. Then there is some reason interfused wdth the modern method, whereas none shows up in an analysis of the old method. Finally, the new ' method is of profit and pleasure to the race now living and will be posterity; the old method is a waste of ener- gy, paper and ink. According to the old method, just before Christmas, the teachers be- gan talking in a hazy. Intangible way concerning the mysterious doom which awaited the pupils after they had sown their wdld oats in the holiday season. Upon the return to school in January, the horror of what await- ed them was duly posted. It w ' as an examination of the pupils for the express purpose of proving to each teacher if he or she had done successful work throughout the year regardless of effort or energy Of course the spirit of the pupii is to please the teacher at all times; hence, in order to make the teachers feel good over their terms work, the pupil began to stretch her brain to make it measure up w ' ell. This stretching process w ' as continued night and day. All the odds and ends of knowledge that accumulated upon scraps of paper within the pupil’s reach was cram- Entire volumes, covers and all were thrown in, until the pupil’s brain was indeed an in- flated balloon. teacher w ' ho calmly extracted such pet phrases as the work during the term had buried within the deeper recesses of the pupil’s system. When this process was finished, stimulants, such as “passed. coih dltloned, failed, were adminis- tered according to the need of the pupil and of the college. According to the new method, the pupil is required to make some practical application of her acquir- ed knowledge. Thus, while she is encouraging the teacher or by showing her that her work has been worth w ' hile, she is proving to her- self the practical value of her new learning. The pupil’s alert brain causes her to see at once that this is the only w ay of truly testing the work of a human being. The only adventure with the new method at Wesleyan, so far, is by Miss Virginia Gamer in her class of journalism. Instead of an ex- amination, she has had them issue this paper, which, as all the world will soon know, is a gift of the tw ' entleth century to journalism. Since the Wesleyan faculty is composed of men and women who are feeling after the best methods, we bespeak for the new method a unanimous adoption In every de- partment of the college as rapidly as the head of each department can think the method through. bloated wisdom stood before the Wesleyan Begins Second Semester With Record Enrollment. The second semester of the sev- enty-ninth session of Wesleyan Col- lege opened with four hundred and ninety-two matriculants and the en- rollment will probably soon reach the five hundred mark. Twenty-eight new pupils have been enrolled since the holidays. There are more regular college students this year than ever before and the spirit of the school Is that of real w ' ork. Very few pupils have failed or been conditioned and the quality of work done has been above the average. The ideals of the institution are steadily grow- ing deeper, broader, and higher, as Dr. Jenkins points the way to high intellectual scholarship and broad Christian character.

For, “wit and wisdom are born with a man;” But do not overburden him with wisdom: Who are a little wise the best fools be,” Besides, “folly stays and genius goes.” Therefore, let him “peck up wit, as pigeons i eas.” “Thou little thlnkest what a little foolery governs this world.” Let him not, however, indulge in mockery. For “mockery is the fume of little hearts” And such jesting is liable to fall afoul of edged tools. I would suggest that you choose, as nurse. Old Dame Propriety. Teach him that “a joke’s a very serious thing.” And that each one requires such thot As if he “Put his whole wit in a Jest And resolved to live a fool the rest Of his dull life.” if trained along these lines, I do not fear for his success. To those of good heart, he will commend himself, and need not fear Those who will not “show their teeth” in envy of smile Though Nestor swear the jest be laughable. To some he will prove a riddle: Let them borrow ' his ears for bet- ter understanding! Some will think his “sweet bells Jangled out of tune and harsh, ’ Others will delight in their peal whose resonance “may touch the heart.” His wedding bells will please fair maidens, as belike, His “rising bell” will make them ' mad. I am glad, indeed, that in all this tinkling Will resound no clamorous tongues. I mean nothing personal. Had you chosen for your protege a less worthy prototype.

The short-lived brat should have, ere this, been shrouded in in- famy And his epitaph written, “Flunked.” Rejoice, then, that you have brought to light one who may furnish “Argument for a week, laughter for a month. And a good jest forever .” I judge that you can say feelingly, “I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad.” I hereby present my worthy name — son With all the ancient jests that have ever been accredited to me; If he Is well brought out, accord- ing to my plan, I shall bequeath to him life, itself, “which is but jest;” Which, therefore, who alone can give but “The Jester”? 8 THE JESTER STRANGE EPIDEMIC. “Morbus Sabbaticus or the “Sun- day Sickness ’ Is the epidemic that is spreading like fire among the students.

The first symptoms of the ap- proaching illness occurred at the ringing of the first Sunday-school bell, when she began to grow lan- guid and to cough violently, com- plaining of a pain in her cerebrum.

A woman, is, of course, a . ways interested in bargains, bu.tj she also likes to be sure she wonts ' the article. Many women let opportunities for marriage slip by them because they are waiting for the next leap year in hopes that styles will change and possibly the bargains then will prove a greater invest- ment. Still other excuse-makers insist they deliberately chose the state of single-blessedness for the sake of a career. Such women as Cleopatra and Helen of Troy experienced no diffi- culty in getting proposals, but then — they were alw ' ays on the job; they did not wait for leap year! “Opportunity knocks at your door but once,” says the old max- im. “and that is during leap year,” adds a disapiiointed old maid. Many young women now ' realize the stern truth that leap year does not come every day, and that a lost opportunity during the short time it is here may mean a life-time of unwilling solitude. In the face of the widespread talk of neglected opportunities, President Jenkins insisted that the outlook is not so dark as might be supposed. Mlien asked by a reporter w ' hat w ' as Wesleyan’s best advertisement, he proudly replied, “Fifty girls, who w’ere former stu- dents at Wesleyan, married last year.” If President Jenkins, instead of leaving the matter to chance, would establish a matrimonial bureau, there could be no ground for any complaint whatever from Wesleyan College in 1920.

An Attempt to Cut” Church Ends in Bruises.

Having a distaste for church services. Helen Stubbs w ' as utiliz- ing the attic above fourth floor an- nex as a place of hiding last Sun- day, whon she fell asleep. A nightmare caused an uneasy toss, a sudden fall, and an immediate awakening. Plaster and broken laths surrounded and covered her as she sat in state upon Miss Bar- nett’s dresser. As soon as she realized her position, she limping- ly fled to her room. One hour later Miss Barnett re- turned from church to find a room littered with plaster, a great hole yawning in the celling, but no traces of the cause of the disaster. All efforts to discover the culprit were unavailing until this morning, when Helen Stubbs, stiff with bruises, told her story to Mrs. White, and begged admission to the Infirmary. The executive committee will probably grant her full pardon, as it is believed that she has already suffered enough. APPROACHING FASHION SHOW Through the efforts of the enter- prising faculty of the college, the main parlors of the Hotel Dempsey have been secured, and a beautiful showing of spring styles will be conducted by the Wesleyan stu- dents from February 1 to 15. This is one of the biggest advertise- ments for our college and for the deserving merchants of Macon that has been contemplated. From the large appropriation by the trustees, the hearty support of the patrons of the college, and Inquir- ies from prospective buyers, the show bids fair to be a big success from every standpoint. To give every one an opportunity to par- ticipate the faculty has declared a holiday for every afternoon w ' hile the show continues. 10 THE JESTER W e s 1 e y a n Society DR. JENKINS ENTERTAINS FACULTY. A very enjoyable evening was spent last Saturday, when Dr. Jen- kins entertained the members of the faculty in the grand parlor. The color scheme of pink and green was carried out in the deco- rations, festoons of Southern smilax were draped around the walls above the pictures. Large ferns and vases of pink carnations added to the attractiveness of the room. Miss Barnett, one of the more worldly members of the faculty, proposed cards, but as a few of those present were afraid to violate the rules of the trustees. “Rook” was substituted. Mrs. Burks and Dr. Jenkins tied for the highest score; Mrs. Burks was presented with the prize, which was a beauti- ful picture of the college. After the game Miss Garner and Miss Wolf suggested dancing, but Miss Elson reminded them that this, too, w ' as against the rules of the trustees. In place of the dance, a grand march was begun, led by Mrs. Burks and Mr. Minton. Professor Maerz furnished the mu- sic for the march, playing the lat- est tags of his own composition. Mr. Daniel entertained the guests | by singing “Just A-Wearylng for You.” Miss Whitman played the accompaniment. When the song was but half completed. Miss I.,ol8 I Rogers, who had been sitting in the corner with a somewhat bored expression, tip-toed out of the room. Refreshments were welcomed immediately after the song. Mr. Rosser proposed a guessing game, and while this was going on. Dr. Jenkins went after the baby. Soon an admiring crowd had gathered around him. Mr. Smith coming up remarked how cute the baby was, and that he reminded him of his son Bigham. Dr. Jenkins thought that the evening would not be complete without singing the “Alma Mater Song.” Every one joined in heartily, and after this the party broke up.

THE JESTER 11 PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUBS. “They say that the Freshmen they ain’t got no style.” Such scoffers would do well to visit the English J1 class-room be- tween the hours of eight and ten on Thursday mornings; and if w ' hat they see there does not change their opinion of the wear- ers of the green and gold — well, we feel sorry for them, that ' s all! Realizing the necessity of train- ing in oral composition. Miss dar- ner, of the department of English, organized the sections of Fresh- man English into two societies, the “Progressive English Club” and the “Criterion Club.” The ob- ject of these organizations is three- fold: to enable the students to be- come better versed in parliamen- tary law, to become informed on current events, and to cultivate the power of oral expression. OiBcera are elected every six weeks; and the program committees prepare an attractive program every week, which is posted on the bulletin- board a few days before each les- son. Much friendly rivalry be- tween the two clubs is shown in the arrangement of these pro- grams. Parliamentary law Is stressed to such a degree that the teacher her- self was one day reproved by the zealous parliamentarian for offer- ing an amendment to the constitu- tion without having submitted it in writing one week previously, as the constitution demanded! In the discussion of current events, topics have ranged from the presidential election to the German peace proposals. Debating will be the chief feat- ure of oral composition in the spring term. The season was opened by a debate upon the fol- low ' ing: “Resolved, That final ex- aminations should be abolished in this school.” Despite popular feel- ing in favor of the negative, the judges unanimously awarded the laurels to the afl rmative. The Honolulu girls will give their first “Glide” in the gymnasium. February 24th. The dancers will appear in Hawaiian costume. The members are: Misses Helen Stubbs. C. B. Branham. Sallie Con- ley, Genie Fincher, Sarah Bethea and Elsa Logan. About seventy- five guests have been invited. Y. W. C. A. Notes Good Work Being Done by the Y. W. C. A. This Year. The Y. W. a A. is doing better work at Wesleyan this year than ever before. The cabinet, render- ed enthusiastic and efficient by the conference at Blue Ridge last sum- mer, have steadily strengthened and broadened the organization until it now ' pervades every aspect of college life. The short vesper services on Tuesday and Thursday are better attended than ever be- fore. while the Y. W. C. A. hall scarcely holds the crow ' ds that at- tend the Saturday evening service. This is conducted by members of the cabinet, who discuss subjects of vital interest to college life. W. C. T. U. At Work. The W. C. T. U. is correlated with the Y. W. C. A. and has charge of the vesper service on the third Saturday of each month. Miss Miriam Rogers, the chairman prohibition, and several interesting meetings have been held. On sev- eral occasions, visitors from the city W. C. T. U. have contributed to make the evenings devoted to this department both interesting and profitable. Missions at Wesleyan. As the Missionary Society has also been made a department of Y. W. C. A. work, the missionary committee has charge of the mis- sion study work and the monthly missionary meetings. These meet- ings take the place of the vesper services on the fourth Saturday in each month. China and Japan have been the subjects of the missionary pro- gram during the past semester. The Y. W. C. A. also has charge of the Sunday evening services in the Wesleyan chapel. The serv- ices are led by some members of the cabinet; Dr. Jenkins or some I other speaker preaches at this time. These services In the chapel alternate with the mission study classes which meet every other Sunday night. The enthusiasm I manifested in the organization of ' the classes this year w as greater ' than ever before. There are twen- jty-tw ' o leaders for the tw’o hundred and sixty-five members. The work is divided into four de- partments. The books studied by the different classes are as follows: Seniors, “The Students of Asia,” by Sherwood Ekldy; the juniors, “Islam, a Challenge to Faith,” by I Samuel Zwemer; the sophomores, “A Challenge to Life Service”; the freshmen, J. Lowell Murray’s “Christian Standards in Life.” The efficient leaders and interesting I studies combine to make the hour I given to this work on Sunday even- I ing a very enjoyable one. Social Service Work. The Social Service Committee at Wesleyan College has been an effl- jcient factor in the fonvard move- i ment of the work in the settle- ments. An entertainment is given once a month at Payne’s mill, Ogle- thorpe settlement, and Wesley house. — the three settlements for which the Y. W. C. A. has under- taken to be responsible. The girls have entered earnestly into the w ' ork and try to give all the enjoy- ment possible to the settlement children. Music Is taught the children one afternoon a week by tw ' o college girls who have enthusiastically of- fered their services to help Instill into their childish minds a love for the beautiful and the best in both music and literature. The social service committee has also undertaken hospital work in the city and members of the Y. W. C. A. make visits and carry fiow- ers to the hospital as often as pos- sible.

They were admitted, after giving the password. “Garment by garment w’e make a trousseau.” When the club members had all arrived and seated themselves comfortably for work, the hostess gave the sign and each member took from her bag a much prized picture which she placed near her. Then the nimble fingers began to sew while the girls discussed the latest fads in lingerie. Later in the evening, the sew- ing was laid aside and hot tea, sandwiches, salted almonds, and We� ley«n Contribution to the Home. Vhen the CTvil War brought death dnd disease to the nation, Wesleyan opened its doors to the sick and wounded soldiers, and here it was that Mary Day, gently tending the stricken soldiers of the Confederacy loved and wedded Sid- ney Lanier. Wesleyan girls still love to tell the story of that ro- mance and wedding at Wesleyan, and whether or no it be true that the spirit of that early romance still hangs over the college, Wes- le.van girls have never caught the vision of a “career ” as the highest aim of life, but still remain easy marks for Cupid’s arrows. Since last .June the hearts of at least fifty of Wesleyan’s former pupils have been pierced by his darts. Among these are the following alumnae of the college: Virginia Fraser— Mrs. Pratt. Ella Bess McMichael — Mrs. Drane. Ruth Shelton — Mrs. Garrison. Chung Ling Soong — Mrs. Sun Yat Sen. Ruth Ralston — Mrs. .Johnston. Nella Damour — Mrs. Watts. Emma Drew — Mrs. Clay.

McMath asked to have the club meet in her apart- ments next Saturday. The mem- bers of the Hope Chest Club will be prepared to meet any emer- gency that they might be called upon to face in June. Those pres- ent were Misses Leila Legg, Nancy Dover, Gladys Dupriest, Kathrlne Cleckler, Ethel Vaughn, Kathrlne Thomas, Mattie B. McMath, Rena Weaver, Elizabeth Hiley, Mildred Daniels, and Katharine Oliver. COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS. The Veterropt Have you had your picture made for the “Annual”? If not, why not? The last poem, history, and prophecy will soon be finished, the last picture will soon be made: the “Veterropt” is almost ready for the press. In the opinion of those who have seen the material which is now ready, this year’s an- nual promises to be one of the best in the history of the college. The annual is a record of the year’s do- ings at Wesleyan, a permanent re- minder of good times, hard work, and friends. The Wesleyan. The holiday number of the “Wes- leyan,” prepared by the freshmen, is a creditable magazine contain- ing forty-four pages of story and verse, w’ritten in the spirit of the season. Especially worthy of note is the short story, “The Call of the Yule-log.” by Rebecca Candill, which gives a realistic account of a Tenessee negro’s migration to Chicago, his troubles there, and his return just In time to “help Marse George tote in the yule-log.” Poems by Catherine Oliver, Re- becca Candill, Kathleen Gilham and Hattie Tracy King give variey and interest to the magazine, while Mary Atkinson’s story of New Year Resolutions is delightful in its whimsical humor. Siren Club. The Siren Club of Wesleyan Col- lege held its w eekly meeting Sat- urday night at midnight in the tow ' er of Main Building. Miss Viv- ian Broadnax, who has recently been elected president, presided. After the roll call and reading of the minutes the business of the hour was discussed. The question under discussion at present Is “Ways and means of entangling unsuspecting males.” Those pres- ent were Misses Vivian Broadnax, Sue Jordan. Emma Love Fisher, Flora Neel. Frances Neel, Myrtle Harris, Esther Harris, and Nadine Leech. THE JESTER 13 CLUB NOTES Literary Societies. The Harris and Lanier Literary Societies were reorganized this year with Miss Laura Lyle, presi- dent of the Lanier Society, and Miss Lillian Cox, president of the! Harris Society. The Lanier So- ciety chose, as its course of study for the year, current events and current literature, while the Har- ris Society chose the study of Southern problems. The aim of the society is to de- velop the powers of appreciation and of expression in their mem- bers. Appreciation is secured through study of the best modern literature and music. expression, through discussion and debate on questions of vital Importance. An rncle Remus program w’as presented by the Harris Literary Society at their regular meeting Saturday afternoon. After a bio- graphical sketch of Harris’ life by Miss Lillian Bass, Uncle Remus stories were read by Misses Lila Lambeth and Annie Ruth Lee, and a reading from “Free Joe” was given by Miss Sarah Hodge. A feature of the program which was much enjoyed was an Uncle Remus revival hymn, set to music by Mrs. C. W. Hubner. and sung by Misses Pauline Barney, Florence Legg, and , Nancy Dover. The regular meeting of the Lanier Society Saturday afternoon was devoted to a study of the ques- tion of unification, which is now facing the two branches of Meth- odism in America. The pros and cons of union, as well as of the I tentative plan now under consid- j eration were brought out by a de- . bate on the question. Resolved: That the branches of the Methodist Episcopal Church should unite. The speakers were: Affirmative, Mary Kilgore, Allie Jeff Doster; Negative, Mary Lou Gram ling, Edith Monroe. given by the freshmen and sopho- mores in expression, an original colonial pantomine in costume, given by the juniors, and extem- poraneous talks on expression and oratory by the seniors w’ere fea- tures of the program. The Thespian Dramatic Club has as its purpose the harmonization of body and voice in expression of the soul. Miss Caroline Cater is president of the club. Le Cercie Francais. The members of the Le Cercie Francalse enjoyed a program of musical and literary numbers at their regular meeting last Thurs- day. The violin solo, “Romance sans Parole,” by Miss Pierce and the vocal solo, “Barcieuse,” by Miss Anderson, were especially en- joyed. After the program a de- lightful social hour w as spent as the members chatted in French over the chocolate cups. Le Cercie Francais organized this year by Miss Jane Esther Wolf, the new member of the fac- ulty of modern languages, has suc- ceeded in arousing the enthusiasm of all its members, and the ambi- tion of less advanced students, who look forward to the time when they, too, may become members. The aim of the club Is to make its members fluent speakers of French, and to this. end all conver- sation. as well as the more formal part of the program is entirely in French. Glee Club. The entertainment to be given by the Glee Club on March 5 will be a treat to all music-lovers. Most of the songs are In manuscript — the compositions of Messrs. Billin, Marez, and G-illette. One of the most delightful is the “Daisy Song,” written by Vibbard, whose pipe-organ recital in connection with the Artist Series was so much enjoyed last month. Thespian Dramatic Club. The meeting of the Thespian Dramatic Club, on Monday, Feb- ruary 12th, was one of special in- terest. Impersonations from life. Conservatory Club. Appreciation of the music of the Fiench and Italian composers in every phase of their work is the end secured through the programs PERSONAL MENTION. Miss Emma Love Fisher, a well known writer of Wesleyan College, has just published a new ' book en- titled ‘‘Love’s Young Dream.” Miss Nadine Leech, Flora and Frances Neal, and Vivian Broad- nax left Saturday morning for Palm Beach, where they will re- main for several weeks recuperat- ing from the exhaustive effects of their examination at Wesleyan. Mrs. M. M. Burks, who for years has been the lady principal of Wesleyan, has given up her posi- tion there to make a tour of the world lecturing on “All Subjects.” Mr. Reginald Billin and Miss June Elson, voice teachers at Wes- leyan, have organized a vaudeville company. They will be seen in place of Keith vaudeville at The Grand after March first. Miss Marian Elder, editor in chief of The Jester, has accepted a position as editor of The Suffra- gist, published by the Congression- al Union of Washington. Several Wesleyan girls, includ- ing Miss Rosalind Jenkins, Miss Katherine Thomas, and Miss Louise McGee, left Wednesday for New York to attend the opera and buy their spring clothes. They are ex- pected back about March fTfteenth. Which class will get out the best number of the “Wesleyan”? Are you doing your share towards making your class number the very best? The W’’esleyan is a monthly publication and affords unlimited opportunities for mak- ing good in the literary world of the college.

Only skilled musicians are admitted to the club and the pro- grams are of the highest order. At the regular meeting last W ' ednes- day, a most delightful and beauti- ful program was given, which was greatly enjoyed by the members. 14 THE JESTER WE8LEYAN S GREAT HEARTS. TO WESLEYAN. WeBleyan ' g contribution to the world mluBlonary movement, cov- ering a period of seventy years, is, to China, seventeen workers; to Korea, three; to Japan, one; Mex- ico. five; Cuba, three; Indian Ter- ritory, two; Brazil, one; and In- dia. one. It is no small thing to have given a force of thirty-three strong women to a great cause. Even so far back as 1848, in the early day of woman’s activity, we find three Wesleyan graduates, the Jewett sisters and Mary Houston Allen, in China and later in India. Our next representative to this great world movement was Miss I.aura Askew Haygood. In 1884, on the occasion of the anniversary of the Wesleyan Missionary Society. Miss Haygood was present, and pledged herself for China. In China the transmission of her won- derful personality was manifest; the boys of Shanghai felt it in the English instruction; the students of the Clopton school, and of two day schools felt the infiuence of their principal. But the master- piece of Laura Haygood’s life’s work was the founding of the Mctyeire Home and School which has meant and still means so much for the womanhood of China. Others of our representatives in China are l nnie Winn. Janet Mal- lary, Ella Leverett. Emma Gary, Nettie Peacock, and Mary Culler! White in the evangelistic field; and Bessie Houser. Ethel Allen and Mary Loelu Davis in the educa- tional world. Four of our girls | went out as wives of missionaries. I They are Mrs. Young J. Allen. Mrs. I George Loehr, Mrs. W. B. Donnell, j and Mrs. W. B. Burke. I To Japan, Wesleyan contribution 1 has been a kindergarten expert, I Miss Margaret Cook, who is now head of the kindergarten training school of the Hiroshima Girls ' School. Korea has a claim on three Wes- leyan girls,— Mar ' Knowles Ross. Mary Johnston, and Sallie Cooper. In Mexico, we are represented by five workers. — Pauline Dunlap and Mrs. W. M. Quillian, in the evange- listic field, and Annie Mcl ndon and Manelle Foster in educational work. Miss Foster has recently been transferred to Eliza Bowman College, Cuba. Mrs. Tochle Will- iams MacDonell became the wife of a missionary. Mrs. MacDonell, Rebecca Candill, ' 20.

I see the light fantastic forms, I That dance about in strange dis- guise; I hear the songs that angels sing. Descending softly from the skies. I fall asleep in night’s embrace. Wild roses kiss my weary eyes, I care not if the fancies dance And tiny stars smile in surprise. The perfume of sweet-scented flowers Is wafted to me on the air. I dream, and angels hover near To keep my soul from harm and I care. |0 Wesleyan; Thou’rt fair to me, I A thousand charms art thine I alone.

Thou sendest forth sweet maidens fair So pure, so lovely, good, and kind. They’re not surpassed in all the world In beauty and In power of mind. They leave thy sacred walls of fame Now hallowed by departed forms They sing their Alma Mater song And at thy name the proud heart warms. They’ve gone into the big. wide world. To comfort sad humanity. They’ve made the nation’s homes of Joy. And banished care and vanity. They’ve blessed our country far and near With inspiration thou hast given. They’ve told to mHlIons of thy fame And sent thy praises up to Heaven. They’ve gone into the foreign lands. To tell the world of Jesus’ love, To tell the heathen of a God, To tell them of a home above. They’ve filled the South with love and peace. They’ve fi lled its homes with boundless Joy, They’ve filled the hearts of all man- kind With longings pure, without al- loy. Oh. Wesleyan! Thou’rt fair to me. Thy name I’ll tell to all the world. I love thy pure, majestic truths, I long to see thy fame unfurled. Forget thou not the glorious past, For it is great and full of power. But be thou on thy careful guard. And watch each fleeting, passing hour. They’re filled with progress, filled with hope. They’re filled with messages sub- lime. They’re filled with great and stir- ring truths. With aspirations great— divine. Then look thou forward, upward, on! The glorious past was truly great. But in the future lies thy hope. In future sails thy Ship of State. THE JESTER 15 STYLE TIPS The spring silhouette is a model of much grace. Unlike prices, the waist line has returned to its nor- mal position. Black Satin Hats Very Chic. Very smart women are wearing black satin hats instead of black velvet ones this spring. The French girl, it is said, may not wear her heart on her sleeve, but she does wear her patriotism on her hat. This accounts for the fact that American women will begin about February 22, wearing hats draped in American flags. Afternoon Frock. Neutrality being the condition most desired at this season by the vast majority of people. It is car- ried out with rather a pleasing ef- fect in the shades of the lovely afternoon frock that are shown. Over the gray charmeuse tunic is draped gray chiffon, and a velvet bow of pink placed on one should- er gives the necessary touch of color. The Breakfast Gown.

The faculty determined individ- ually and collectively to do them- selves proud on this occasion, and after staying awake the whole of many sleepless nights and labor- iously rehearsing under the able direction of Dean J. C. Hinton they w ' ere finally ready to perform. The result thoroughly compensated for the many months of the nervous strain of preparation. As a result, the aggregate w as intoxicating! Perhaps, the most soul ravishing of all the dramatic feats of the evening was displayed w ' hen the curtain rose on the first scene of the third act of “Hamlet” reveal- ing Professor George Rosser in the role of that hero. Professor Ros- ser’s marked histrionic talents have long been a source of admiration to his students in Bible, and it was a genuine treat to the enthusiastic audience to see him in his public debut. After the first exuberant ebullition of applause had subsid- ed, and silence brooded over the entire house, in full, rich tones Prof. Rosser burst into the immor- I tal soliloquy, “To be or not to be.” 1 with all the fervor of Hamlet him- self. He addressed his words to I the benumbed “Ophelia” (Mrs. M. M. Burks, of the chair of English literature) who sat all the w ' hile in an attitude denoting a distorted brain. Just as Prof. Rosser had reached the crescendo of his surg- ing emotions and held the audience relieving It of the severe straight lines. Hats need not be worn un- less desired. Though the middy bids fair to be the most popular, there are those few who still cling to coat suits, street dresses, and frocks of various types, which will always be seen to some extent among the smartest sets. BETH HILEY, Special Paris Correspondent. In spell bound astonishment, the ghost of Hamlet’s father unex- pectedly appeared before the ap- pointed tune and frightened Prof. Rosser to such an extent that he sank exhausted and had to be borne off the stage. Reports say that “Hamlet w’as mad” over the untimely interruption, and upon regaining consciousness refused to reappear upon the stage and “con- tinue the narrative.” He declares that it was a “flagra nt” mistake planned out of jealousy to spoil his act. The next number was a w’oodland scene from “A .Midsummer Night’s Dream,” starring Miss Lily Whit- man as a bewitching “Titania,” the queen of the fairies, accompanied by a lone attendant, “Cobweb” (Miss Jane Esther Wolf), and Dr. Charles Jenkins as the inimitable “Puck. ' The stage was converted into a veritable forest and the arti- ficial decorations showed the pos- sibilities along horticultural lines in this fav ' orable climate. Dr. Jen- kins w as dressed in red tights, modestly draped by a green satin skirt with tarn o’shanter to match, and over his shoulder was flung a cupid’s bow ' and arrow ' . He danced and whirled with accuracy and speed, twirling and wheeling grace- fully now on one foot then on the other. He was the exquisite em- bodiment of a woodland sprite, and the soul of a vivacious nymph. The audience cheered Itself hoarse for an encore, but he coquettishly refused to reappear except to chunk a kiss and pick up a bunch of flow’ers from some unknown ad- mirer. As the curtain rose upon the next act, at the sound of a blast of trumpets from behind the scenes, Dean Hinton entered im- personating “Julius Caesar.’ He rode with spurs a beautifully ca- parisoned charger, coming upon the stage at full gallop. He reined his steed immediately, how ' ever, tying his horse at the foot of “Great Pompey’s Statue.” While he w ' as in this act of tying his mustang, “Brutus” (Prof. S. E. McKellar), dressed in a Latin toga, cut in the subjunctive mode, entered stealth- 16 THE JESTER lly from the rear and exclaiming, ‘ Not that I k ve Caesar less, but Home more,” cowardly aUick his knife in the defenseless back of the mighty Caesar. The wounded hero uttered a piercing shriek of despair and sank to the turf whis- pering, “Et tu Brute?” to which Brutus fearlessly replied, “Yes.” With the dying lamentations of the fallen Caesar, the curtain fell, and there was not a throat In the audi- The College CirVs Room Made Beautiful The problem of how to make her room beautiful puzzles every artis- tic college girl.

We would sug- untll Prof. Hinton appeared in person and assured them that he was still among the “quick” and was only playing the part of Caesar. The Dean was hailed as the prince of tragedians, and it is feared that he will be tempted to resign his position in the faculty to further perfect his histrionic skill. Next, and probably the hit of the evening, was the death scene from “Romeo and Juliet.” As Juliet, Miss Virginia Garner has never been surpassed. When the curtain rose and we saw her in the mausoleum, palely beautiful in a sleep which counterfeits death, we felt ourselves in the presence of the real Juliet — the beloved of Romance. As the disconsolate •Romeo” (Prof. J. W. W. Daniel), dressed in sackcloth and ashes en- tered and gazing into the closed eyes of Juliet moaned distracted- ly, and finally in agony stabbed himself with a paper knife, the grief of the audience knew no should be selected with great care.

Mr. Quillian pos sesses marvelous declamatory skill, and it is thought that if he had not been drawn in early youth by a peculiar affection for Insects, he w’ould have developed a very superior talent for elocution. The last and final act at the end of the w ' hole program and. with- out doubt, the most spectacular, was a scene in an Egyptian palace. On a gorgeous oriental couch in the center of the stage, reclined bounds.

To add to the funeral effect, the band played softly on the cornets, “My Darling Nellie Gray, they have taken her away.” The next scene w’as also from “Julius Caesar,” and In It Prof. Marcus Cains Quillian twinkled like a star in the role of Mark Antony. Prof. Quillian was ap- propriately selected for this part because, like the great Roman he impersonated, his name is “Mark.” The audience sat in tomb-like calm as in full, thrilling tones, with a alight “X-ralse” in his voice. Prof. Quillian recited the oration over rose and yearning disconsolately Wesleyan and The Chautauqua of The South.

Miss McMath was unable to give a good description of the man. She could only tell that his hair w ' as light, forehead high, his eyes gray and dreamy, eyelashes long and thick, nose aquiline, mouth turned up at the corners, teeth regular and pearly. He w’as tall and rather thin. He wore a black English suit and a soft black felt hat with an orange and black band around the crown. This morning Miss Lois McMath found the bag in her room. The contents of the bag were shown to the reporter; a box of rouge, five hair pins, a book of mov- ing picture tickets, a small pencil, several visiting cards, and tw ' enty- three cents. The reporter sought an inter- view with Chief Detective Parbeau concerning the mystery.

College Girl Attempts Movie Career Consternation was spread abroad in Wesleyan College Monday morn- ing when it became known that Mias Mary Alice Robbins had run away to join the movies. Without divulging her plans to anyone, Miss Robbins left the col- lege at nine o’clock. Surmising that she had permission to remain away from the college all day. her roommates were not alarmed when she failed to appear at lunch. But when seven o’clock came with no sign of the missing girl. President Jenkins was informed of her ab- sence. After a thorough search through all the college buildings, the par- ents of the young lady were notl- fied of her disappearance and de- tectives were immediately employ- ed. The only suggestion of a clue to be obtained was a remark made a few days ago by Miss Robbins to the effect that she was tired of school and thought she would begin her career as a motion picture ac- tress at once. Following this uncertain clue, De- tective Bums telegraphed the cities containing moving picture studios and from Universal City received the message that a young lady an- swering Miss Robbins’ description had applied on Tuesday morning for a position, but no further informa- tion as to her present location w as to be given. Going immediately to Universal City, Detective Burns searched all the studios. In the office of the American Motion Picture Co. he came upon a very weepy and de- lected little figure.

THE JESTER 19 SPORTS ETHEL BUTNBR. Editor FACULTY MEMBERS ENTER ATHLETICS “KIMumt’� Defeat Kickums ' ' 21 to 0. Saturday afternoon, on the Wea leyan campus the greatest game of the football season took place be- tween the Killums and Kickums in which the Killums were winners 21-0. At 3:30 Referee Hinton was de- layed by the fact that “his wife had guests for lunch, ’ so Umpire Bil- lin started the game. The Killums displayed a wonderful drive throughout the entire game. The Kickums were seldom able to solve their lightning-like shirt forma- tions, while their interference was little short of perfect. To Full- back Rosser is awarded the lion’s share of the credit for victory, for it was he who bore the brunt of the attack, hurling himself time after time against the Killums’ line, sel- dom failing to make a substantial gain. Gillette was at his best and would elude tackle after tackle College Girl Attempts Movie Career Continued from page 18 him the detective introduced him- self and very gently stated his mis- sion. Between sobs Miss Robbins asked, “And you’ve come to take me back home?” Upon receiving him the detective introduced hlm- assurance that such was his inten- tion. Miss Robbins gladly cried, “Well, let’s start at once. I never want to see a ‘movie’ studio. In an Interview today concerning her experiences. Miss Robbins stat- ed, “I had no Idea it was so hard to qualify for a motion picture ac- tress. My friends always told me I was the exact type and assured me that with my undeniable talent I would soon become a star. But the managers were just horrid. Not a single one gave me any hope of a position as a star.” Miss Robbins is contemplating a series of lectures to stage-struck girls. She is quite confident that a recital of her adventures will effec- tually cool the ardor of any would- be movie actress. with his twisting, turning motion. Smith made several neat gains, one being a dash of 25 yards. Although against overwhelming odds, the Killums fought with fierce determination and gamely strove to stave off defeat. For the first quarter Jenkins and Maerz i gained with some consistency, but i Jenkins encountered a brick wall, i and .Maerz was smothered before he could get started. The giant j strength of Quillian was in every • play whether in the line or on the ends. He was up in a flash lifting the man he tackled and shoving him good-naturedly across the line of scrimmage. He played a man- sized game of football. Daniels tackled well throughout the game and in this department was far su - 1 perior to that of his opponent. i Rosser kicked off to Jenkins. I Daniels surprised the crowd by a I 65-yard kick on his first down. Kickums showed they had a crack- er-jack team by advancing the ball in a few seconds to Killums 3.5- yard line, where a field goal was missed. Maerz gained 10 yards, then Kickums held and Daniels was | forced to punt. With Rosser and Gillette carrying the ball Kickums , battered their ws,y to Killums’ 10- ! yard line, w here they fumbled. | Here Killums displayed their j strength. By the end of the quar- ! ter It was Kickums’ ball In mid- field. j Smith made a beautiful run across right end, then Rosser and Gillette put the ball on Killums’ 8-yard line. The pigskin was car- ried back and forth until the half ended with It in the middle of the field. Daniels kicked to Gillette, who I returned 15 yards. Kickums was I held and Rosser punted. Killums’ | best chance to score was frustrat-j ed when Rosser intercepted a pass behind his goal line. Rosser I crashed through for the second I touchdown and Smith kicked goal. | The usual combination, Rosser, , Gillette and Smith, put the ball on Kilums’ 1-yard Hue where they I were held for three downs until | Gillette twisted and dodged his j way to the goal posts. Smith made the score 21-0. Swimming Match Postponed. The contest between the two best Wesleyan swimmers.

The silver loving cup offered by Dean Hinton, of Wesleyan faculty, to the champion volley ball team of the season, was won to-day by the Dumps, when they defeated the Scrags by a score, 21 to 9, in the college gymnasium. The Scrags put up a stiff fight and at differ- ent Intervals hept the ball in the air for dozens of returns. Helen Stevens, for the Scrags, played a hard game, and with the aid of her team made the Dumps work manfully for their score. At times the Scrags, in their eager- ness to score a point, left their ground uncovered, thereby allow- ing the skillful Dumps to score several points. Mary Pearl Chance, for the Dumps, w’as one of their most ac- tive players, and her efforts to place a net ball and avoid the net made her one of the stars of the game. The Scrags, fighting bravely up to the last, caused the Dumps to put forth their best efforts to with- stand their force. But the strength of the Dumps outlasted that of their opponents and when time w ' as called, the Scraps, unable to raise their score allowed the Dumps to win the annual trophy. The Dumps have w’on the trophy for two successive seasons and this year they lost only one game. They have tasted defeat but once and expect to keep up the same record | next season. Line-up: Scrags: Nancy Dover, C. B. Branham, Luclle Pierce, Sarah Mc- Williams. Helen Stephens, Lois Dis- muke. I Dumps: Ethel Pafford, Nelle | Bates, Sarah Clements. Mary Pearl I Robbins, Sarah Bethea. I Swimming Party Given Mercer j Juniors by Wesleyan Juniors. | The juniors of Mercer University were entertained by the Wesleyan juniors with a swimming party Saturday evening. The young men were greeted at the front entrance of the college by four charming freshmen. Misses Flames Sweep Wesleyan ; — Continued from patfe 2 she would be obliged to climb three flights of stairs. Miss Whitman rushed up the steps through fiame and smoke. The excitement of the crowd below, who witnessed her rashness, knew no bounds. De- spite the exhortations of the police they crow ' ded by hundreds under her window and plead with her to come down. Suddenly, to the re- lief of the breathless watchers, she | appeared at the top of the fire- j escape. The crowd yelled for joy. ! j She threw the red sweater to safe- j I ty, then calmly descended herself. The climbing firemen met her half j I w ' ay and safely conducted her j j down. The crowd cheered Itself | I hoarse, and struggled for the honor I of shaking her hand. I Miss Wolf, the professor of ro- ' j mance languages, also narrowly es- ; caped a tragic end. At the first i , sound of commotion in Senior Hall. | i she came out of her room and I asked what the noise was about. | I On being told the terrible truth, I she hurrle l back to her room to | j save some of her most precious be- 1 I longings. She sustained serious | I injuries, both from fire and over- 1 exertion in a vain attempt to drag j I from the building, a highly-prized ; I bath tub, which had recently been I installed. ! I Miss Lois Rogers, head of the | I department of education, on looking ' from her window on fifth floor and seeing the throng below, became I hysterical, and w’as unable to calm her emotions until one of her pupils reminded her that ' education ! means control.” | Skeleton Saved. The last ones to leave the build- ing just as the roof fell in were some girls who had laboratory work under Mr. Quillian. Fortunately none of them were injured, but Mr. Quillian managed to save abso- lutely nothing but the skeleton w ' hich is the prize possession of the physiologj’ laboratory. Bessie Tappan, Ruth Renton. Lois McMath, and Louise Cooper, and were escorted to the parlor, where they joined the juniors. A salad course and an Ice were served by the freshmen who as- sisted the juniors in entertaining. Perfect Order Maintained. The praise for the unparalleled good order Is due entirely to Prof. Daniel and is an evidence of his ability or power as a disciplinarian. When it was all over he asked how I many girls had talked, and found that not one had done so. Miss C. B. Branham, president of the student government associa- tion, had warned the students that they must not leave the campus without signing. After every girl had signed her name and given her destination, the student body marched out singing the Alma .Mater song, into the open air and to safety. The fire had gained so much headway by the time Mrs. White, matron of the college, remembered to turn in the alarm that the flames were already ungovernable when aid arrived. Not one article was saved from the main building. The costly draperies, which adorned the parlors and reception room were completely destroyed and the bed room furnishings of antique ante- diluvian style, the value of which is inestimable, were left a charred heap. First Diploma Saved. However, the first diploma ever awarded to a woman was thought- fully saved by Miss Flora Neal, and also every one of the five thousand volumes of the extensive library were carried out by Miss Mary Alice Robbins, with no assistance whatever. Many Acts of Bravery. Among those who distinguished themselves for valor, during the awful ordeal, none Is more deserv- ing of praise than is Miss Mary Brooks, of the senior class. Miss Brooks was in the main building at the time when the fire started and by vigorously and patiently manip- ulating the sanitary drinking foun- tain as a fire extinguisher, did much to check the %iolent flames. In her heroic attempts she became almost suffocated by the smoke, but continued her dauntless efforts while the flames leaped and the walls cracked. Her strength at last began to fall, and just as she was about to fall exhausted to the floor. Miss Mary Pearl Chance happened to pass. She caught Miss Brooks in her arms, and. hold- ing the lady on one hand and beat- ing the flames away with the other, she made her way to the front door, T I I THE JESTER where she was relieved of her bur- den by Patrolman Jones. Miss Brooks has fully recovered. Miss Mary Emma White is an- other whose name has been sent as a candidate for a medal. After everyone had left the build- ing, Miss White made it her busi- ness to go through every room in the college searching for anyone who still might be inside. Her search w as most timely, for in one of the halls, frigid wdth fright, and faintly fanning her face in a futile fight with the fiames stood Mias Theresa Turner. In an instant Miss White had the frightened girl in her arms, running down the long steps into the open air. Miss Turn- er is at present confined to her bed, but her condition is not serious, and Mary Emma White will be a name numbered along with those of Flor- ence Nightingale and Joan of Arc. The loss, which was enormous, was entirely covered by insurance, and the w ork of rebuilding will be- gin immediately. The contract for reconstruction has been let to .Mr. Ray. Late last night Dr. Jenkins gave out the statement that the fire would not interfere in the least with the continuance of the college work. The young ladies are to board at the Dempsey and attend classes at Mercer University until the new buildings are completed. Dr. Jenkins exhorted the girls last night to put in a good night’s study and make up for the holiday caused by the fire. Poisoned from Paint on Her Lips Paint on her lips resulted in se- rious Illness and almost death for Miss Mary Brooks, a senior stu- dent at Wesleyan College, yester- day afternoon. Miss Brooks and Mrs. Burks, the lady principal of Wesleyan, were the sole occupants of the elevator when the near trag- edy occurred. Mrs. Burks was in the act of remonstrating with Miss Brooks about her painted lips, when the unfortunate girl fell unconscious. With the assistance of the elevator boy. Mrs. Burks managed to get the young lady to her room and summon Mrs. White, who immedi- ately sent for Mr. Leon Smith, the professor of chemistry. Smith to the Rescue. Mr. Smith rushed to the room, bearing a large funnel, a pair of forceps, and a peculiar looking flask. He prized her mouth open with the forceps, inserted the fun-| nel and poured in the liquid. Al- most immediately a change was no- 1 ticed. The doctor arrived fifteen : minutes later and upon examina- tion stated that the poisoning was due to the arsenic in the paint i .Mr. Smith’s timely assistance had | saved her life. Upon being questioned as to how I he knew the cause of and the | remedy for the girl’s illness, Mr. Smith stated that for some time the faculty had noticed a peculiar poisonous-looking tint upon Miss Brooks’ Ups and had spoken to her of the danger of using the | paint, but to no effect. He had been anticipating such a tragedy | and after having analyzed the | samples of the poisonous paint, se- j cured by Mrs. White, had spent several days preparing an antidote. | In fact, he had just completed his compound when summoned to| Miss Brooks’ bedside. To-day Wesleyan’s womanhood i has no rose-like cheeks and lips, | for the tragedy has brought home the truth to the students’ minds. Last night a mass meeting of the student body was held in Wesleyan chapel, and all paint boxes and sticks of lip salve were consigned to the waste-basket. Dr. Jenkins, president of the col- lege, gave out the statement to- night that Miss Brooks has prac- tically recovered from the effects of the poison, and since this was the case, he w ' as glad of the inci- , dent because It had taught Wes- leyan students a lesson that they i will never forget. 1 Strike Causes Abolition ! of Examinations i Continued from page 3 | Jane Esther Wolf rose to her full height, hands thrust vindictively in her imckets, to declare that not even the hope of a raised salary would deter her from doing all in her power to crush the silly no- tions. Professors Daniel and Hin- ton also stood for the rights of the faculty In the matter. Professor ?mlth again ventured a timid asser- tion — that parliamentary law was being violated by the entire assem- bly. Dr. Jenkins then called on differ- ent members of the faculty to ex- press their opinion in regard to the proposition. Miss Lois Rogers, professor of psychology, argued that w ' hile the manifesto masque- raded as upholding a wronged cause, as a matter of fact, it ' imounted to a bid for an easy time, for reasons that were clear and obvious to anyone familiar with the school-girl mind. Mrs. Burks laughingly suggested that they re- construct college courses with so little content that there would be nothing left worth examination! To keep up the jest. Professor Ros- ser proposed, by all means, to re- duce the length of examinations w ithin limits to escape the condem- nation of the most fractious stu- dents. “Let go examinations; turn the college into a pleasure resort!” stormed the president, jokingly. In hilarious enjoyment of the situa- tion, the faculty adjourned. The Strike Breaks. Rumors of these facetious, unsat- isfactory responses reached the student leaders who waited, quiet- ly, inflamed, for the day of reckon- ing. On January 17 at 5:30 a. m., the strikers set fire to the “crowd’s nest and raided the grand parlor as harboring places for those who continued to bone for exams. The College Hill Pharmacy was also attacked by them as conducive to the despised practice of studying, and as a means of supplying physi- cal strength upon which the ordeal for exams largely depended. A group of strike-breakers, led by Flora Neal. Vivian Broadnax, and Marguerite Adams, rushed to the scene. Having struck at the root of the trouble the strikers w ' ere ready with their defense. They placed two police guards, Sara McWilliams and Sara Bethea, at each end of the black, narrow, tunnel-like pass- ages between the laundry and boiler-room, thus blocking the only 22 THE JESTER direct route between main class- rooms, and effectually stopping school-room procedure. Then the officials employed all the approved methods of keeping order in time of labor troubles. Strike policing was first done by the local police; but as the trouble grew beyond their power of control, there were called out successively to aid them, the county sheriff and deputies; gunmen and thugs from Mercer; and the state militia. Finally, the national guards were called into service, and the heads of neutrals, which could be observ- ed popping out of upper-story win- dows at each new disturbance, were astonished to note a miraculous change for quietness and order. All extra policemen of- the student body threw up their jobs, refusing to resist a United States officer! Compromise Reached. It was during this lull in affairs that Miss Virginia Garner, of the faculty, brought before the teach- ers’ assembly a plan which ulti- mately brought about the solution of the problem. The gist of it was that the laborers be given a voice in affairs by means of an organ of the press. The resolution met with instant approval and was submitted to the strike leaders, who, after a deliberation of five seconds, ac- cepted it with compromises, provid- ing that the newspaper be given over entirely to the free expression of ideas by the offended class; that all criticism and comment on offi- cials was to be taken in good faith, and that every suggestion, there- in, was to be adopted by the faculty without question. This really amounted to a victory by the stu- dents, but the shortsighted profes- sors suspected it not at all. The strikers immediately dis- solved their union. The journal- ism students organized the pro- posed newspaper, calling it The Jester. Faculty Suspended The entire literary faculty of Wesleyan has been suspended. It has been rumored of late that there was likely to be trouble, but no one suspected it before the end of this term. All day the members of the faculty have been trying to solve the problem of their suspension, but, up until the time of going to press they have not reached a land- ing. The only explanation so far given out as to the cause of their sus- pension is that they were too heavyweight. There is reason to believe that more accurate infor- mation will be given out at an early date concerning the cause of the suspension for the faculty to have united in trying to ferret out the cause. Dean Hinton, A.M. B. T. C. Q., is making a careful calculation in order to ascertain if the statement given out concerning their weight is true or even worthy of consider- ation. Other members of the fac- ulty are rendering him valuable as- sistance. Prof. Leon P. Smith, Z. A. X. R. C. W., is estimating the possible increase of weight by the Kinetic theory, the possible contents of a volume 6x8, and the weight of cer- tain solids of known chemical com- pounds. Prof. Quilllan, B. Z. Q. A. T. W., is finding the increase in size of standing bodies, and the in- crease in weight of atmosphere where many bodies are breathing. Prof. Daniel, B., does not hold with this weighty cause. His ob- jection is that it is not lined up properly. He is seeking to verify this current event by finding its cause in some previous fault, for he steadfastly believes in the con- tinuity of events. Prof. Idus McKellar, Y. M. Z. Q.. however, is confident that much de- pends upon construction. Prof. Rosser, D. D. D., ad- monishes one and all to go deeper into the details. With such a capable force of as- sistants, Dean Hinton thinks it very likely that he can get the proper data in hand which will en- able him to make a definite state- ment to-morrow concerning the suspension of the faculty. From what can be gathered on the outside, it seems that Dean Hinton had invited the faculty to view with him a total eclipse of the sun through his telescope which he had placed in the tower of the college. When the eclipse was over and the members of the faculty were ready to return to their work, they had become so enwrapt in the thought of limitless space that they all crowded Into the elevators. The elevator re- sented being thus overburdened by the faculty and therefore sus- pended them between the third and fourth floors. When all of the facts, however, are known beyond the shadow of a doubt. Miss Garner will have the Wesleyan class in journalism write the affair up. The papers will be duly corrected and rewrit- ten three times by the members of the class. Mr. Long will then be given the pleasure of choosing one of these thrice-written papers to print in The Telegraph and hence, at the appropriate time, the public will be posted as to the real cause of the suspension of the Wesleyan faculty. SENIOR DIGNITY CRUSHED. Yesterday afternoon, the last class basket-ball game at Wesleyan was played, when the verdant Freshmen clashed with dignified Seniors, and humbled the Seniors to a score 12-5. It was a hot fight from start to finish. After two minutes of stiff playing, Marshall, for Seniors, landed a goal from center of the floor, starting the score for her team. It seemed as if the Fresh- men were going to get the worst of the game. The first half ended 4-3 in favor of Seniors. The Fresh came back strong in the second round and gradually eased their score ahead of that of Seniors, by virtue of good goal throws by How ell and Phifer. The guards Julian and Mobley, for Freshies, played a good game, scampering over the floor kept the Seniors warded off. Trimble made several difficult shots from the center of floor directly into goal thereby raising the score of the Fresh to 12 against the Seniors 5. The team work of the Seniors was splendid, but in spite of their manoeuvering they were not able to outwit the Fresh. 1 I ] BEWARE!!

Rrcsilmt GROWING YOUNG TOGETHER s EVENTY-FIVE years ago, when your great-grandmother, bewitching in her quaint bonnet and gown of finest homespun, started upon her journey to the city, to attend the first women ' s college in America, she boarded a queer looking passenger train on the South ' s first railroad. At the then frightful speed of fifteen or eighteen miles an hour she was whisked towards Macon. No doubt the more conservative of the old inhabitants be- lieved it dangerous, but great-grandmother was a lady to the manor born and she believed in having the best. To-day there have been no changes except those inspired by the passing of time. To-day Wesleyan ' s young ladies, r re- senting the best of humanity in culture and beauty, board the Twentieth Cen- tury modern trains of the Central of Georgia. As an institution and a railway Wesleyan and the Central are friends of three-ouarters of a century. We have not grown old together, but rather young together, each institution absorbing whatever the years revealed of merit and profiting by the experience of the past. And so may we continue letting each decade ripen our friendship and acquaint- ance, and may generations yet unborn continue the relation, to the end that those who operate these lines a hundred years heiice, will value the opportunity to serve the daughters of Georgia, who shall then attend an even greater Wesleyan.

Neither the high quality of materials and workmanship, nor the special attention to details and de- sign — all requisites of the TRUE AN- NUAL— can be obtained without A SPECIAL DEPARTMENT — The Foote Davies Company points with pride to the fact that it has the only department of this kind in the South, r ' established for the express purpose of creating the ANNUAL BEAUTIFUL. Those engaged in this department appre- ciate what the College Annual represents, and expend their entire energy in an L effort to produce “True Art.” The first thought is to get the Editor’s ideas and then with all available skill and mechan- ism, the only possible result — SUCCESS.
